Have a great break!

Last week during World Cultures Week, everyone at Bailey highlighted and celebrated our wonderful student diversity! Thank you to all of our students and their families for sharing their culture and their lives with us!

Celebrate Hmong New Year Friday December 10th!

As COVID-19 case rates continue to increase, SoWashCo Elementary Schools will implement the health and safety adjustments listed in our criteria for COVID-19 decision-making.

Throughout the school year, SoWashCo Schools may enter into an emergency closure or an e-learning day (extended learning day) due to bad weather or other situations in which school cannot be held in person.

The big day is here.  Today is Give to the Max Day! Our goal was $1000…let’s see if we can make it there!

The book fair ends today! Don't miss out!

Get your books now before the bookfair ends!

Give to the Max day is Nov 18th!

Veterans Day display at Bailey!

As we near the end of the first trimester, we are seeing a significant increase in positive COVID-19 cases that have shifted a number of schools into higher mitigation and created staff shortages.

With the rise in positive cases, finding substitutes is increasingly challenging. We ask families to prepare for staff shortages that could temporarily shift a classroom into distance learning for up to 10 calendar days. Families will be provided with as much notice as possible while balancing health and safety requirements.

SoWashCo Schools and the State of Minnesota are hosting a vaccination clinic for 5 to 11 year-olds at Cottage Grove Middle School from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 21. 

During the school year, South Washington County Schools (SoWashCo Schools) may enter into an e-learning day (extended learning day) due to bad weather or other situations in which school cannot be held in-person. In 2017, the Minnesota Legislature created the opportunity for schools to hold e-learning days and is not related to COVID-19.  

Pfizer vaccines are now becoming available in Minnesota for children age 5 to 11. Free vaccines will be offered at pediatric offices, clinics and pharmacies. Availability may be limited but is expected to increase over the next few weeks.

South Washington County Schools (SoWashCo Schools) is seeking input from families, staff and students (grades 6-12) about their ideal calendar for the school year. Please take a few minutes to complete this anonymous survey.

The information you provide will be used by the SoWashCo Schools calendar committee in its planning for future school calendars.
