I hope everyone enjoyed their time off last week! I spent my week with my husband and son having lots of FUN IN THE SUN! After April Spring Break I always feel like the weeks go by so quickly! The end of the school year 22-23 is fast approaching!

In this bulletin please find LOTS OF NEW INFORMATION related to end of the school year events and the upcoming parent/guardian conferences early release days.

Welcome back!

During MCAS testing season please ensure that your child has a good night's sleep and full breakfast! Please remember that breakfast is available at school for all students! ALL STUDENTS SHOULD ARRIVE TO SCHOOL ON TIME!

STE- Science Technology and Engineering

During testing ALL ELECTRONIC DEVICES ARE PROHIBTED. This includes cell phones and apple watches, etc. Please be sure that you discuss with your child that if they chose to still bring these devices to school they will need to give these devices to their classroom teacher/testing proctor BEFORE testing begins and they will receive them AFTER the testing session has ended. This is a non-negotiable. If any device is set off (rings, vibrates, etc.) during testing we risk having to invalidate tests.

Thank you for all of your support at home and for understanding!

Our Barbieri School Mural Unveiling event will be on Tuesday, 4/25. As noted above ALL students and staff will participate during different times to ensure safety while outside. This is very exciting for us school as this mural project began during the school year 2019-2020, the year the pandemic began. We are so happy that the mural is complete and that all students will be able to see their art work displayed permanently at our school!

The Barbieri PTO will be sponsoring a fall Scholastic Book Fair at Barbieri School! The Scholastic Book Fair will be facilitated by Mrs. Tiffanie Maskell. A HUGE THANK YOU TO MRS.MASKELL for all of her hard work in getting it all arranged for us!

The Scholastic Book Fair will be held Monday, May 22nd- Friday, May 26th.

All classrooms will have the opportunity to visit the book fair. Please view the sign up genius below so that you are able to volunteer when your child/children visit the book fair!

Our April character trait is DETERMINATION. When we think about DETERMINATION, we say “working hard and putting in your best effort”. This is a great character trait as we head into the rest of MCAS. Take a moment to do some DETERMINATION yoga or talk about the amazing poet Amanda Gorman with this lesson focused on “The Hill We Climb”. Take a look at the determination Smore here.
