Great job, Barnes family, on reaching 93.34% attendance from October 1 to October 18! You're so close to hitting 94%. Keep up the hard work and encourage everyone to stay consistent. 🎯🐻
Dear Barnes Elementary Families,
Yesterday, our school participated in a Shelter in Place Earthquake Drill as part of the Great American ShakeOut, joining thousands of schools across the nation in practicing safety procedures. During the drill, students followed the Drop, Cover, and Hold On procedure. The students did an excellent job following the guidelines to ensure everyone stays safe in case of an emergency. These drills are crucial to our preparedness, and we will continue practicing throughout the year.
To help your child reflect on what they learned, consider asking them these questions:
1. What steps did you take during the drill to stay safe, and how would you use those same steps if an earthquake happened while you were at home?
2. How would you stay safe if you were outside when an earthquake occurred—whether at the park, in the car, or somewhere else?
Thank you for your support.
Dear Parents,
I hope this message finds you well! Starting this Friday, I will be sending out a weekly update via text message and email to share our SEL Big Bear focus for the upcoming week. These updates will be sent every Friday so that you have the opportunity to discuss and work with your student over the weekend, helping to prepare them for the week ahead. This will be a great way for us to stay connected and support your child's success together.
Thank you for your continued partnership!
Dear Parents,
We want to inform you that there are currently 66 students who have already accumulated more than 2 absences this school year. Please be aware that missing 10% of the school year (18 days) can put your student at significant risk of falling behind academically. If your child has a fever of 100.4 F or higher, vomiting, diarrhea, or pain that is more than mild and prevents participation in class, please keep them home. If your student is not experiencing any of these symptoms we encourage you to send them to school. If you have any concerns or need support and resources to help your child stay on track, please don't hesitate to contact us at 360-501-1500. Your partnership is vital in ensuring your child's success.
Thank you
