Dear Bailey's Families, On behalf of the Bailey's Elementary School Parent Teacher Association (PTA) and it's officers, WELCOME! to Bailey's. One of the most unique and outstanding characteristics of our school, is the Bailey's community which is composed of dedicated teachers, talented students, and active parent volunteers. I encourage you to volunteer either in the classroom or at any events throughout the year. At Bailey's, you can take an active role in your child's education by getting involved through volunteering. There are a number of volunteer opportunities in your child's classroom. Please ask your child's teacher how you can help. If you would rather volunteer outside the classroom, the PTA offers various ways to be part of our volunteer community. You may want to consider volunteering for one of our PTA committees such as the Garden Team, Ways and Means, Family Fun Nights, Odyssey of the Mind and many other great events. If you need more information, you can contact me at arczynski@cox.net or call 703-658-4562. The PTA commits to offering our children a rewarding learning environment. We also welcome any ideas you many have to improve our community. We are always looking for new ways to be an effective organization. Hopefully you will become a member of our PTA and attend our monthly PTA meetings which are held on Tuesdays at 7:00 pm in the School Library. Membership forms are included in the packet of information. Other events the PTA is planning this year include Bingo Night, Movie Night, the Square 1 Art Program, Silent Auction and many more community events that will help bridge the friendships of our teachers, students and parents. I'm looking forward to another wonderful and exciting new year. Please join us in our effort to support the education of our children. Sandra Arczynski |

SLEEP is a grassroots organization started by two Fairfax County parents concerned about the early start times of the county’s secondary schools. In 1998, a Fairfax County Public Schools Task Force studying school start times concluded that later start times would benefit adolescents and our community. There is a large body of research which supports the Task Force’s finding, saying that teenagers’ natural sleep patterns make it difficult for them to go to sleep and wake up early. Currently, however, most county high schools begin at 7:20 am. Buses begin picking up students at 5:45 am and adolescents are often going to school sleep-deprived.
This matter will soon touch on all of our children. Learn as much as possible about it! SLEEP's web site is a great place to start.
