Good Afternoon Barnard Families,
I want to offer all of our Barnard families, our staff, and especially our students a heartfelt congratulations for not only coming through a year like no other, but for coming through it so well. Thank you all for your patience, your perseverance, your flexibility, and especially for your commitment to the success of our kids.
End of Year Kona Ice Truck Event
Additional end of year activities and celebrations are being held at the classroom level across the building over the next two school days. Please stay tuned for information from your child's classroom teacher.
Summer Reading Books
Summer Learning Program
Missing Materials
For families of in-person learners, please turn in any outstanding materials such as iPads (and accompanying equipment), library books, classroom books, math manipulatives on Monday. You can send them to school with your child.
For families of remote learners, plan to drop off any outstanding materials when you return your child's assigned iPad next Wednesday through Friday.
Miscellaneous Items Going Into Summer
-End of year Report Cards will be sent home on Tuesday afternoon with in-person learners. Report Cards for remote learners will be emailed on Tuesday as well.
-A Kindergarten Orientation for the end of August/beginning of September is being planned. As there is still some uncertainty regarding what the fall will look like, details will be mailed out at same time as the class assignment letters. This will give us approximately eight weeks to make plans based on the Health Department's guidelines at that time.
-Tours for new students in grades 1 and 2 will be conducted by appointment around the same time we hold our Kindergarten Orientation.
