Welcome to the second semester. Our Snowflake speakers, M&P, prepared a video with some tips on "Stepping Up and Building Confidence in your Kid". The video also includes some details of what our students who attended Snowflake in November learned.

Planning has already begun for the Fall 2023 Snowflake.

Our English and math teachers are offering drop-in work time on M, T, Th and F mornings beginning at 8:15. All students are encouraged to stop by to get additional help on their English or math assignments.

Barrington 220 is now partnering with an Illinois school safety helpline aimed at providing students a place to report information that might prevent bullying, suicide, and campus violence. Safe2Help is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It allows students to confidentially share school safety issues via a mobile app, text, email, or phone call. You will notice that the "See Something, Say Something" button on our district and school website now links directly to the Safe2Help contact page. We are asking that all students, parents, staff, and community members now use this platform to report safety concerns.
