Daniel Bagley Elementary

Daniel Bagley Families Monday Message, March 11, 2024

Bagley Families,

Please consider joining the PTA Virtual meeting this Friday for Budget Revision Vote.

The PTA will be holding an urgent Budget Revision Vote on Friday, March 15, from 6:30–7:00pm to allocate funds from the PTA budget to Bagley Elementary.

We require a member vote to make this change, so your attendance is critical! PTA Members should have received an email but if you did not receive it, please reach out to president@danielbagleypta.org. Non-members, there’s still time to join by clicking here to make your voice heard!

Pi Night, Bagley’s Math Night, March 14th at 5 PM

Sign up here to donate a pie, bring and/or supervise a math game, and/or help with set-up, pizza and pie serving, or clean-up. 

A flyer went home with your child last week about Pi Math Night. Join us for pie, math games, robotics demonstrations, and more at Bagley’s first-ever Pi Night on March 14 in the gym from 5:00-7:00 pm! Pizza will be provided by the PTA, but the rest of the pies (sweet or savory) are provided by YOU!

Nectar News

The Nectar News is shared with students every Monday to educate and celebrate Bagley student news, identity, and expectations. Check your emailed update for the link.

Appreciations

Each week we share appreciations for our staff and adult community at Bagley in the Nectar News video. We would love it if families wanted to take some time to share a shout out at this link. Bagley Appreciations Link
