Barron Families,

Happy Friday,

We are ending another wonderful week filled with collaboration, learning, and growth for our students. Our Pioneers continue working hard every day, and we appreciate your continued partnership and support.

We are excited to share that we have reached **89.4% registration completion** for next school year! Thank you to all the families who have already completed registration.

We are now down to the **last 37 students** needing registration, and we are holding special **pet plushies** for those students once registration is completed!

To support our families, we will be available to assist with registration on:

📅 **Tuesday, May 19th**
⏰ **4:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.**
📍 **Barron Elementary**

Please stop by the school if you need assistance completing the registration process. Registration helps us prepare staffing, materials, and support systems to ensure the best outcomes for every Pioneer.

**Reminder:**
We ask that students do not bring **stress items or filled squishy toys** to campus. Many students are popping them, and the contents are creating messes in classrooms, hallways, and on student devices. We appreciate your support and cooperation in helping us maintain clean and safe learning environments for all students.

Thank you again for helping us continue building a strong Barron community where every Pioneer learns and belongs!

RIGHT HERE. RIGHT NOW.

Dear Barron Parents,

We are closing out an incredible school year, and we want to finish strong together. There’s an exciting opportunity ahead for our students, and it all comes down to one powerful thing: showing up. El Paso ISD campuses with the highest attendance will earn a Right Here. Right Now. End-of-Year Block Party, and we’re talking about a celebration our students won’t forget! From petting zoos and food trucks to music, games, and more, this is all about celebrating our students and the
commitment they’ve shown all year long. But this is bigger than just a party. Every day your child is in school matters. Being present means staying connected to learning, building friendships, participating in activities, and not missing out
on those meaningful classroom moments that can’t be replicated. If you aren’t here, you aren’t in the picture. And there’s more—individual students with strong attendance can also earn exciting rewards, making every single day count even more. Let’s finish the year with momentum and pride. Help us reach our goal of perfect attendance every
day through the last day of school—because being here matters, right here, right now. B.E.S. where Pioneers learn and belong!

With Appreciation,
Ms. Vasquez
