A MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL ROBERTSON
Dear Families,
We had a wonderful first week back here at school. There were many moments to celebrate! On the first day of school we met with ALL students during our back to school assemblies to introduce important staff members and remind students of our expectations and Bears_CARE mission. Our kindergartners completed their “switcharoo” and will be going to their permanent homeroom teachers this Tuesday. Our patrols had their first meeting with the patrol sponsors and started their posts. Most importantly, all students got home safely this week and our dismissal is becoming more efficient each day.
It is important for students to have a consistent dismissal plan each day. Please ensure that any changes in dismissal plans are communicated with homeroom teachers AND the main office. All car riders should have a number for their cars. We have started distributing these numbers to students. If you still need to register for a car number, please contact your child's classroom teacher. If you used a number last year, it is important that you confirm that you still need the number or it will be used for another family.
We look forward to seeing you during our Back to School Nights Tuesday, September 12th (Grades K-3) and Wednesday, September 13th (Grades 4-5/CES). Please look for more details this week from your child’s classroom teacher.
Please help support our PTA by joining today! More information is included in this newsletter. I look forward to another great year with our Barnsley community. Enjoy the last official weekend of "summer".
Sincerely,
Ms. Robertson
