Barron Families,

Another great day at Barron ES where Pioneers learn and belong! Students were excited to have popcorn for being registered and receiving ice cream from the cafeteria. We are at 48.2% registered #4 in the district! Please continue to register, so that students receive their pet plushie! PJs and plushie on Monday, April 13th! Classrooms reaching 100% registration will receive prizes - congrats KD at 90%

As a reminder for safety, please ensure your children are wearing shoes that meet the campus and district dress code.

Hey Parents! Let's show our appreciation!😌

Next week, May 4th - 8th, is teacher appreciation week! 🥳

We are so thankful for the dedication and support our teachers have shown all year long. They gave our pioneers immense support and invaluable learning through out this year.❤️

Help us celebrate them and their dedication! We have many fun things planned for our teachers but would love to stock their lunch room with goodies! 😋

👉Drop off non perishable snacks and drinks now until teacher appreciation week! (Think cookies, chips, soda, granola bars, etc)
There will be a box at the front office where you or your pioneer can donate these items.

🤔Want to help further? Our teachers are enjoying a special lunch provided by the school and you can drop off the dessert for after! 🍰
Drop off desserts Friday afternoon (May 1st) or Monday morning (May 4th).

We love Barron as not only a school, but community. We hope you can help us celebrate our teachers who help fuel this awesome community.
