Dear Barbieri Family and Friends,

I wish you all a happy and healthy 2023 NEW YEAR!!! My hope is that all of our Hawks and their families take time to enjoy each other and be present! Take time to create beautiful memories during this winter break.

I want to thank you all for your endless support to Barbieri School! I feel incredibly lucky to work in such a special school! I look forward to continuing to serve all of you as best as I can in the upcoming new year!

Les deseo a todas nuestras familias un año lleno de salud, amor, y paz!

Con mucho cariño,

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.

All Barbieri Students read the book Swimmy by Leo Lionni. This book is about perseverance and cooperation. All classrooms decorated ONE big fish together as a classroom and presented their classroom fish at their Community Meetings today! They explained how they worked together to complete their room fish!

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!

The school district is restarting the partnership with the Parent Teacher Home Visits (PTHV) Program to strengthen relationships between families and schools and to improve academic accomplishment, family participation, and communication between school and home.

Educators' (including aides and assistant teachers) and families' participation in the Parent Teacher Home Visits Program is optional.

The visits are in pairs, and the educators contact the families to invite them to partake in the home visit, which takes 30 to 40 minutes. Interpreters can be arranged if needed.

Check the following links for more information on the program:

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.
