PTA needs you!
Dear Barron Families,

Good evening,

School **will be in session tomorrow, January 13th**, and we want to reassure you that the **safety of all students and staff is our top priority**. Bottled water will be delivered to our campus for student consumption, and **all water fountains in hallways and classrooms will be temporarily closed** to ensure that no one uses them during this time.

We understand that many of our families have been affected by the current water situation. **If your family needs additional support or assistance**, please do not hesitate to reach out to our campus. We are here to help in any way we can.

As always, **our Barron community stands strong together**. We will overcome every challenge that comes our way so that our Pioneers may continue focusing on learning and thriving.

Thank you for your continued partnership and trust.

Warmly,
Barron Administration

Dear Parents,
As we come to the end of the semester we want to highlight something important for the next.

Your Barron PTA needs your support! PTA is back and needs people willing to support them and their efforts for your child's school.

Without your membership PTA can not establish themselves for another year of amazing work.

As involved parents, we encourage you to sign up to be a PTA member. Signing up does not mean you have to volunteer with PTA, you can just decide to sign up to show your support.

If you're interested in volunteering and joining this awesome group of people, a meeting will be announced in January to start the year off! We suggest you sign up now and watch for further announcements.

Thank you for all you do as involved and engaged parents. We know we can all count on you to help PTA in supporting your child's school.

**sign up at: joinpta.org

Happy Holidays ๐Ÿค
