Principal's Welcome
Welcome to Hailey Elementary School
Home of the Comets!
My name is Tom Bailey and I am the Principal of a very special school.
The Hailey Elementary teachers and staff work each day to create life-long
memories that will inspire students to develop a love of learning. We care
about the development of the whole child.
Hailey
elementary school is embarking on an exciting new journey. We
have adopted the "Leader In Me" program. This
program is designed to develop essential life skills needed to
thrive in the 21st century. This program will develop character,
leadership, improve academic achievement and unleash their
talents. It honors students' worth and potential by creating a
generation of leaders, one child at a time.
The
program centers on teaching children the 7 Habits of Effective
People. If a child learns to implement these habits in their
daily life; they will build the self confidence and
interpersonal skills to succeed as leaders in the 21st Century.
Everyone at HES is excited to partake in this fantastic
opportunity.
Our staff is trained in the
TRIBES program of Character Education, which develops a caring, trusting
environment and fosters self-esteem and empathy for others. All students
participate in community service activities, which enhance their commitment
to their fellow man.
We have several programs that kindle a drive for strong academic performances,
including Reading Clinic, Math Chains, Dual Immersion, Accelerated Reader,
Accelerated Math, and Computer Lab. Every classroom is equipped with projectors
and promethean boards
that bring the Internet to life for the whole class. Our students seek a global
connection by participating and sharing projects with students in classrooms in
other countries around the world using Skype.
Homework club provides support before and after school for anyone who seeks
help with their studies.
Our students explore the Arts, Music, Strings, Vocals, and performance
opportunities in order to develop a well-rounded individual who appreciates all
aspects of the creative world.
I encourage you to come visit and experience the special atmosphere known as
Hailey Elementary. I am sure you will find it as amazing as we do.
