The Bailey Times

Just thought I would start your Monday off with a smile!
Our word for January and February is EMPATHY!
CEF Trivia Night – The Collierville Education Foundation’s Annual Teacher Trivia Night is less than eight weeks away. This year’s theme is “Hollywood,” and participation is limited to sixty teams of eight participants. In addition to trivia, there will be food, raffles, costume contests, a dance competition, and a table decorating contest. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. See the attached flyer for registration information and further details.
Please make sure that you send out an email clarifying that school will let out on Feb. 14th at 12:15 for students and parent conferences will start at 1:00!
February 14th Absences – Friday, 2/14, will be an abbreviated day for students, followed by three hours of parent-teacher conferences at each school. For payroll purposes, this date will count as one and one-half workdays for teachers. Absences will be reported as follows: Abbreviated instructional day absence = 1 day; P/T conferences absence = ½ day; Full day absence = 1.5 days. This formula applies only to school-based, instructional personnel—not to classified or other 12-month employees.
Medicare Information Meeting - March 10th
All staff is invited whether you are retiring or not! This is just good information!
Please take a moment to look at some of the articles/blogs that are below! You might find some great information that can help you in the classroom or in this profession!
a ** by a change as a reminder. I know that some of you do work before school and try to plan accordingly with the calendar given, but I cannot guarantee that there will not be changes so you will need to be flexible with that.
