Students will bring home four documents for parents to review today: Report Card for 2 nd Quarter, Winter MAP Report, 2018-19 EOG Reports, and a Student Led Conference Reflection Form.  Please ask your Bronco for all of these when they arrive home on Thursday.  HUGE THANKS to the parents who brought in chili for the teacher luncheon last week...it was delicious!  Finally, we will be hosting 5 th graders from JV Washam, Huntersville, and Cornelius Elementary Schools next week for their annual visits.  Looking forward to seeing our next crop of future 6 th grade Broncos getting their first experience in middle school.
 
Student Led Conferences
As I mentioned in last week's edition, students will be required to complete a student led conference with parents at home.  They will be bringing home a yellow form that will guide your student through the process of having a conference with their parent or guardian.  Parents will need to be an active participant and will have a small section to complete on the form, along with their signature.  Each student will be required to complete the student led conference by Friday, February 14 or before.  The reflection form will need to be completed and signed by the student and parent as verification of completion.  This is a required assignment for all students, but they will receive extra credit upon turning in their reflection form.   If you do not have computer access at home, we can accommodate parents in media center before or after school to come in and complete this conference using the student's Chromebook.

International Night 
 
International Night
Bailey Middle School's annual "International Night" is scheduled for Thursday evening, February 20th. This annual event showcases and celebrates the diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds of the families at our school. This event is a great way to introduce Bailey students and their families to customs and traditions from all over the world. Every year the event gets bigger and better!  
 
We are looking for parents and students to volunteer as ambassadors for their country/region by decorating a booth, dressing in traditional clothing, and sharing art, food, music, games, etc. Bailey will provide the tables for the booths. 
As an incentive to volunteer, students that participate with their families by setting up a booth will receive extra credit (bonus points) in their choice of subject. Students that attend the event and get their passport stamped will receive extra credit in Social Studies.
