Barron Families,

Welcome back! We had a marvelous Monday and hope to continue the momentum we have built from day 1. A reminder that children should arrive after 7:30 a.m. and not dropped off to wait at the front of the school. Also, a reminder that speeding through the parking lots places our families and children at risk. Please slow down and always watch for families with their children walking to sidewalks from their vehicles. Safety has to be our priority!

Have a terrific Tuesday,
Ms. Vasquez, Proud Principal
