Principal's message

Bailey Families,

Bailey Middle School is committed to providing a safe and positive environment for all students at school-sponsored events. Due to multiple reports of students engaging in inappropriate behavior during athletic events, we are updating our expectations for student attendance.

Effective immediately, students will no longer be permitted to attend school sporting events unless they are accompanied by a parent or guardian. At this time, only one administrator is on duty during events, and that administrator must remain inside the gym to supervise the event itself. This limitation makes it difficult to adequately monitor students who are present without adult supervision.

This change is necessary to ensure student safety and to maintain appropriate conduct at our events. We appreciate your partnership in reinforcing these expectations with your child and helping us create a safe, respectful environment for everyone.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Brad Lancaster, Principal

Robotics Summer Camps by LASA Robotics!
SMART (Science, Math, and Robotics Technology) Camps are week-long (5 day) STEM discovery camps for incoming 2nd - 7th graders. Facilitated by members of the award-winning LASA Robotics team, SMART students learn basic engineering and design principles through fun, hands-on STEM challenges and building/coding LEGO® SPIKE™ Prime, LEGO® Mindstorms® EV3s, and VEX V5 robots
Summer 2026 SMART Camps will be taking place at LASA High School on June 8-12 and August 3-7, with morning (9am-12pm) and afternoon (1pm-4pm) sessions. Students will be separated roughly by age into different classrooms. We will begin the day with fun STEM-based activities to help the kids get to know each other as well as a tutorial about the robotics kits that they will work with. They will then spend the following three days designing, building, and testing their robots, and the final day will involve a competition with prizes!
Students of all experience levels are welcome to join! Tuition is $300 per camp ($360 for VEX Camps, which are for the oldest campers), and need-based scholarships have applications available in registration. For more information and links to register, please visit this page: https://my.cheddarup.com/c/2025-smarties-camp-registration-copy-80797, and reach out to us with any questions at outreach@lasarobotics.org. We can’t wait to see y’all this summer!
