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
