Mrs. Bates

Hello First Graders and Families!

My name is Bailey Bates, and I am excited to be your child's teacher! This will be my eighth year teaching. I graduated in 2018 with a degree in Elementary Education from Missouri State University. After graduating I obtained my masters degree in Reading Instruction through Arkansas State University. 

My husband Talon and I have been married for 6 years. We are proud parents of a three year old little girl, Sadie and a 3 month old baby boy, Beckett. When I am not teaching, my husband, Sadie, Beckett and I love to spend time with our family and friends. We enjoy spending time outside, being active and going to the lake. 

I look forward to this school year and getting to know your family!
