Live School Recaps
All students and parents that have created an account for Live School received a "recap" email on Thursday. These will be distributed weekly on Thursday's to give you an overview of the past five school days. This can be a great reminder and tool to debrief the week together as a family. You can see positive recognition, as well as important feedback in the areas of behavior, work ethic, missing assignments, and tardies.
If you need help establishing an account, please reach out to Dr. Haniger for assistance.

Masking Update
The Kansas City, Missouri, City Council mask ordinance while inside of school buildings expired at 5:59 pm on Thursday, February 17, 2022. Following this date, face coverings will be recommended, but not required, in our buildings.
Face coverings will continue to be required for all individuals on a school bus per federal order.
Staff, students, and visitors are asked to conduct a daily wellness check, stay home when signs of any infectious illness are present, and contact your healthcare provider for testing and care.
If you have any questions, please contact the PCR-3 Health Services team at 816-858-5420 ext. 2199.
Course Requests Grades 5-7
Its that time of year! On Monday, February 14th, Mrs. Brandt and the admin team shared presentations with 5th, 6th, and 7th graders about next year's course requests. Please make time to sit down with them and choose the course requests that would be the best fit for them and your family. The way to make these choices will be through a google form that was sent out Monday after the presentations took place. There is a part of the form where you will put your name in as a parent and that will serve as your signature for their requests. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Becky Brandt at brandtr@platteco.k12.mo.us
8th Grade ICAPS
On February 25th, the high school counselors are going to come to Barry School and will enroll all 8th graders for their 9th grade year. Each student has created an online "ICAP" which is a four year plan.
Please make time between now and then to go through their 9th grade year with them to make sure it aligns with your students' wants and needs. After reviewing your child's ICAP with them, please complete the ICAP Parent Review form so that we will know you have reviewed the ICAP and agree with your child's choices. I have talked to the kids about this and they have met with high school counselors as well, so they should be in a good place. There are many resources on their Counseling Google Classroom that they can refer to when choosing classes.
If you have any questions between now and then, please feel free to reach out to me via email or phone 816-436-9623 ext 3105 (Becky Brandt).

Black History Month
