Every fall Barrington 220 hosts a Safety Week where all schools participate in safety drills that are mandated by the State of Illinois, including fire drills, tornado drills, lockdown drills and bus evacuation drills. Safety Week 2022 will be held September 19-23.
During each school day students and staff will view short videos covering the following topics:

• Sept. 19: See Something, Say Something
• Sept. 20: Weather Emergencies (Tornado Drill/Shelter in Place)
• Sept. 21: Law Enforcement (Lockdown Drill - Grades 4-12)
• Sept. 22: Fire Evacuations
• Sept. 23: Train and Crosswalk Safety

To facilitate the safety week events, we will be running special schedules all week. See next weeks bell schedule here.

Take a look at BHS’s new comprehensive community resources handout now easily accessible to parents/staff and students! The handout lists resources for various types of support such as counseling, mental health assessments, emergency hotlines and many other related support services. The handout has resources for not just Barrington, but surrounding communities as well. It can also be located on the District 220 website under families—>students—->mental health resources!"

BHS believes that attending class, completing assigned work and contributing to the class are indispensable to success in school. Only when a student is in the classroom can he/she take full advantage of fellow classmates’ ideas, the teacher’s knowledge, expertise and counseling, and presentations of materials that enrich the class.

However, we recognizes illness, death in the immediate family, family emergencies and situations beyond the control of the student to be valid causes for missing school. If your student is too ill to come to school, please keep them at home and report the absence via the parent portal of Infinite Campus. Please be aware that attendance calls go out at 11AM each school day for unexcused absences, so it is important to submit absences via Infinite Campus in a timely manner. Attached are directions on how to utilize the parent portal, via the app or website to submit absence requests.

Parents/guardians must seriously consider whether or not the reason for the student missing valuable instructional time is sufficient to warrant the absence.

The meeting will be held at BHS in room C271 at 9:15AM.

NOTE: visitor parking has been moved to the west parking lot, the spaces facing the tennis courts.
