Registration for the 2010-2011 school year at Bailey’s Elementary School for the Arts will open January 4th, 2010.
As one of the two elementary magnet schools in our district, Bailey’s has both classroom teachers and specialized educators that focus on the sciences, the arts, and technology.
Since 1999 Bailey’s has been in partnership with the Kennedy Center as part of the Changing Education Through the Arts Program (CETA). As a result of this partnership, Bailey’s teachers seek innovative ways to integrate the arts throughout the curricula.
In addition, their programs are supported by the latest technologies including laptops, desktops, SMART Boards, and distance learning. Bailey’s also has a state-of-the-art communications lab where students produce their own TV shows and videos.
Applicants must be entering grades K-4 in the 2010-2011 school year, be working on (or above) grade level in language arts and math, demonstrate positive interpersonal and school behaviors.
Students who reside outside the attendance area are also eligible but parents must provide transportation. Parents will be notified by mail about selection or placement on a waiting list.
Applications will be available on Bailey’s website – www.fcps.edu/baileysES/ beginning on January 4th.
Plan to attend an Information Night at the school on February 4th at 7:00 pm.
Applications must be submitted by March 1, 2010.

Hello – incredibly beneficial web site you’ve created. I enjoyed reading this writing. I did wish to issue a comment to tell you that the style and design of this web page is incredibly aesthetically delightful. I used to be a graphic designer, now I’m a copy editor in chief for a advertising company. I’ve always loved playing with information processing systems and am attempting to study computer code in my own free time (which there is never sufficient of lol).
