Barton Family Football Night - Friday, October 13th

Let's come together to support our Irving Tigers as they go head-to-head with the MacArthur Cardinals. All Barton students attending get free entry and a chance to join the football players on the field. I'll provide teachers with the student list on Thursday, and student entry passes will be distributed on Friday. 😊

Parents and teachers can buy tickets at the box office for $6 or online [here](https://www.irvingisd.net/athleticstickets). We'll update you once the game details are available. It's going to be an awesome night of fun and sportsmanship. Students will sit with their guardians once the game begins. Can't wait to see you there!

And here's what's coming up later this month:

Red Ribbon Week - October 23 to 27

Show your support against drugs by wearing red on Monday. Then, aim for the stars on Tuesday by wearing your Cowboys team gear or cowboy-themed attire. On Wednesday, show you're too smart to fall for drugs with fall-themed attire. Thursday, embrace your favorite character with a character shirt, and Friday is our purposeful planning day (more details to come).

Topic: Last year, mCLASS interventions resources were delivered for K-2 monolingual teachers (the blue box). This training will provide teachers in utlizing mCLASS resources and progress monitoring Tier 3 students using mCLASS.

If a student is absent for more than 2 consecutive days, please reach out to the parents, and notify Ms. Sorto and CC the students administrator and counselor.

Regular attendance directly correlates with academic success. When students are present in class, they can engage with the curriculum, participate in discussions, and ask questions.

Way to go 4th grade leading the HERD this month!
