Getting involved in your child’s class as a room parent is a fun experience, a huge help to the teacher, and a vital link between the PTO and the classroom. For the 2021-2022 school year, there will be a maximum of 3 room parents per classroom. Please read below for some of the responsibilities shared by the room parents.
Room Parent Responsibilities
1. Communicate with the teacher about PTO events, activities, etc…
2. Assist the teacher if he/she needs help with any classroom tasks.
3. Provide information to parents if they have questions about classroom activities.
4. Work in cooperation with a PTO Committee Chair if help is needed specifically for your classroom. Examples from previous years include the pizza party for winners from Bailey at The Bogey and community service projects, such as blanket making.
5. Plan and organize the Harvest Party, Holiday Party and End of Year Party for your classroom.
6. Create a classroom directory IF you choose to do one.
7. Collect money for the teacher’s birthday, holiday and end of year gifts or any other special event gift, such as a baby or wedding gift.
8. Provide any other assistance as needed throughout the school year.
9. Attend the mandatory room parent meeting (date/time/place TBD).
Further details of these responsibilities will be discussed at the mandatory room parent meeting. If you have any questions about becoming a room parent, please contact Colleen Walsh or Melissa Voeller, PTO Vice Presidents and Room Parent Coordinators.

Join the Bailey Community for a social event that is also the school’s largest fundraiser! The Bailey PTO will host a Fun Run behind the school and it is open to all ages. There will be a one lap event for walkers and younger children, next we will do a 30-minute timed run for older participants, each registered participant can choose which run they would like to do (wristbands required). After the runs we will do our annual Golf Ball Drop from a firetruck. The balls to drop closest to the flag will win prizes (including cash prizes!). This event is meant to cater to all ages and bring the Bailey community back together while raising funds for our amazing school.
Proceeds from this fundraiser will provide innovation grants for all elementary grade levels, including high-tech media equipment for the library, hands-on science programs and reading enrichment materials. We are also raising funds to replace the existing playground in the next few years, a portion of funds raised will support that as well. All funds directly benefit and enhance the classroom experience for each child at Bailey Elementary. Thank you for your support!

Join the Playground Committee!
Bailey Elementary is turning 25 years old this year! The building was renovated around the 20th anniversary, so the PTO is considering an update to the playground to coincide with the 25th anniversary. The new families to Bailey have brought the age of the playground to the forefront of our attention, and we have decided to form a new committee to look into renovating and/or adding to our existing playground equipment. Some of the things we will need to do on this committee is looking into the overall cost of what we need to do, fundraising activities specific to the playground, researching grant opportunities, and working with the district’s new leadership to ask them to contribute to the playground (which they have not historically done).
If you are interested in joining the committee and/or have experience in adding to the playgrounds of your previous schools, please contact Stephanie Piquero (thepiquero5@gmail.com) for more information.
As the school year begins and we are all navigating through uncharted waters, I wanted to let you know that the Bailey Elementary School PTO will continue to support the school, as we do every year. However, this year our fun family events, activities, and other school related functions might look a little different.
In a typical year, Bailey Elementary PTO is responsible for having special events for students and families as well as supporting our teachers with annual funds for their classroom and tokens of appreciation. Some events the PTO has sponsored include:
We also support our community by:
This school year is different than any other school year Bailey has experienced in its 24 year history. The PTO could not provide all of the above mentioned activities and support to our teachers and community without your time and financial support. The PTO continues to find new and innovative ways to support our teachers and bring you events that so many families enjoy. However, the restrictions on gatherings due to the pandemic will significantly affect our biggest fundraising events, such as Bailey at the Bogey, Bulldog 5k, and Bailey Bash. Whether it is volunteering or donating money, everything makes an impact to our Bailey Community, and we appreciate everything you do to support our efforts.
If you would like to make a donation to support the PTO, click here or please visit our website at www.mybaileypto.com and click on the DONATE tab. If you are interested in volunteering your time, please contact the Bailey PTO at mybaileyPTO@gmail.com.
Thank you for your support of the Bailey PTO. We are truly lucky to have such amazing families at Bailey, and here’s to another wonderful school year!
