Barbieri Bulletin
Family Edition: December 18, 2022
Principal's Message
Good afternoon Barbieri families,
We will begin our final full week of school for the 2022 year! We will begin our winter break vacation at the end of this week. Please note that it is a FULL week of school. Friday, December 23rd is NOT a half day or early release day.
Please see the fun and exciting spirit days we have planned this week!
The temperatures continue to get colder so please remember to send our hawks to school properly dressed to enjoy the outdoors, fresh air, and physical activity for 30-mins recess each day,.
Gracias a todos,
Maria
Our theme this month is Cooperation! Take a look at the Smore for songs, morning meetings, activities and read alouds that all Barbieri Students will be engaging in throughout the month.
Teachers are encouraged to take their students out every day, unless weather conditions make it unsafe. Our Hawks need fresh air, sunshine and physical activity! Students participating in recess will NEED TO WEAR A COAT. Please send your child to school with A COAT and any other necessary accessories to safely enjoy outdoor play! Recess is now 30 minutes every day. It is not safe for students to be outdoors without coats for that long period of time during chilling temperatures.
We do have extra outerwear available here Barbieri School so please call the main office at (508) 626-9187, if you need assistance! The office can connect you with Ms. Rebecca Salguero, our school Wraparound Coordinator, will be happy to help you!

ACCESS TESTING 2023
The window for ACCESS testing will open on Thursday, Jan 5th and will close on Friday, Feb. 10. 2023. ACCESS stands for "Assessing Comprehension and Communication in English State-to-State for English Language Learners." It's an assessment that assesses social and academic English language development in the domains of Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking.
Our ESL teachers will be administering the assessment. We thank you all in advance for recognizing the tremendous effort that goes into assessing our students
During testing students are NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE ACCESS TO PHONES OR SMART WATCHES. Please leave them at home. If they come to school they will need to give it to the teacher until their assessment is over.
