The new principal at Bailey Middle School, Jennifer Dean, has scheduled several “meet and greet” events in the community, including two in Davidson today (Wednesday, July 9).

She called the sessions “an opportunity to talk informally” before the start of the school year. And by the way, the first day of school for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg system is Monday, Aug. 25.
