About Mrs. Bailey

Hello everyone! My name is Mrs. Samantha Bailey, and I am one of the Special Education Teachers at BC Cate. This is my 13th year teaching, and my third year at B.C. Cate Elementary School. My prior 10 years of teaching were in the Elmira City School District, where I taught first, second, and third grades. When I moved to BC Cate I started out teaching 2nd grade. In March of 2019 I decided to make another career change and started teaching Special Education. I enjoy what I do and am glad that I made this decision!

I have been married for 13 years, and we have a 10 year old daughter and a 5 year old son. When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with family, shopping, camping and relaxing at home.

I really do look forward to working with all of my students and their families to have a successful school year! When working together, we can achieve the greatest of goals. Please feel free to approach me or come into our room whenever you need to, or would like to. You are always welcome!
