Dear Bailey Families,

Warm Greetings! I hope this message finds you safe and warm following the snowstorm. Bailey Middle School has been inspected and is ready to welcome students back to a warm and supportive learning environment.

While we've missed some days of school, we are eager to push forward as we prepare for benchmarks in just 8 days and STAAR in 45 days. Super Saturday tutorials will be held on February 1st and February 22nd. To help us maintain a focused learning atmosphere, please remind your Buccaneer to keep electronics in their backpack for the entire school day, as they can be a distraction from learning.

Due to preparations for the weather, the Winter Dance was postponed last Friday. Students will be able to redeem their paid ticket for the Valentine Dance on 2/13/25.

On February 4th, we will have our campus field trip to West Side Story. If you signed up your student to attend this night show, you will receive a new permission slip this week. This trip is free and students who attend will receive a shirt and pizza. Please see flyer below.

Please continue to monitor the weather and ensure your child comes to school dressed in layers to stay warm during these freezing mornings. Remember that school sweaters are on sale and can be accessed on the Bailey Revtrek page.

Bus Transportation: Smart Tags Required

We are in full implementation of Smart Tags for bus transportation. ID's must be worn in school as a part of dress code and as a part of entering the bus. Students will not be allowed to ride the bus without a Smart Tag ID. Replacement IDs can still be purchased online.

The flyer below also shows the link to download the Smart Tag app to track your student's bus.

Although we begin dismissing busses at 4:25PM, we have busses that arrive later due to multiple routes. You can monitor your child bus route each day to see when it arrives by clicking here. When a bus arrives, the route will appear. When it leaves, the route turns green. Please contact the transportation department with any questions or concerns about bus routes and pick-up times. 281-891-6490. http://www.infofinderi.com/ifi/?cid=SI3EP1SK4WO

Privacy and Data:

Our student ID cards are safe and secure. We use PVC cards with a passive RFID chip containing only a unique identification (UID) number. The UID in the chip is read by our card reader, and our system uses it to reference student information. The latest cloud technology, encryption, and security protocols ensure your child’s information is secure.

We look forward to a spring semester filled with intentional excellence and success!

Serving with Intentional Excellence,
