Barron Families,

We hope you had a wonderful and restful Spring Break filled with special moments with your loved ones. We are excited to welcome all of our Pioneers back to campus and continue the strong momentum we have built together this school year!

As we return, our focus remains on **high-quality instruction, strong routines, and student success**. Every day matters, and we are committed to ensuring that all students continue to grow and feel a strong sense of belonging at Barron.

Here are a few important reminders as we begin the week:

* ⏰ **Breakfast is served from 8:00–8:15 a.m.** Instruction begins promptly at 8:15. Please ensure your child arrives on time and ready to learn.
* 📚 Students should come prepared each day with all necessary materials and a positive mindset.
* 🔐 **Safety remains a top priority.** We will be conducting a safety lockdown drill this week and will prepare students in advance so they understand expectations.
* 📖 Our upper grade students (3rd–5th) will continue preparing for upcoming **STAAR assessments**, while all grade levels continue focused instruction and support.

We are entering an important time in the school year as we prepare for state assessments and continue to build on the progress our students have made. Your support at home—ensuring students are well-rested, on time, and ready to learn—makes a tremendous difference.

Thank you for your continued partnership and trust. Together, we will continue to support our students in reaching their full potential.

We are excited to see our Pioneers back on campus tomorrow and ready to learn!

With appreciation,
Elaine Vasquez
