• All absences must be cleared within 5 days.

• Early dismissals:
  Please call the Front Desk to speak with someone directly — do not email your request.

• The most efficient way to clear absences is by emailing 📧 barrettabsence@sanjuan.edu or by using the Parent Portal.

Policy Overview
Unless explicitly permitted by a school employee, students may NOT USE smartphones, mobile communication devices, or headphones (airpods) while on campus during school hours 7:30AM – 2:45 PM (From the time the student walks through Barrett’s Black Gates until they leave Barrett’s Black Gates). All such devices must be powered off and kept in students’ backpacks throughout the school day.

Unauthorized Use
If a student uses a smartphone or mobile device in violation of this policy while on campus or under school supervision, school staff may confiscate the device and issue disciplinary action.

Confiscation & Storage
Any confiscated device will be turned into the main office, where it will be stored securely. Devices will be returned to the student, parent/guardian, or school administrator, as appropriate.

Repeated Violations
Students may be prohibited from bringing devices to campus after multiple infractions. The escalation process is as follows:

Infraction

Consequence

1st - Verbal warning and put your phone away

2nd -Detention and students can pick up phone after school

3rd - Parent contact by teacher/office and parent pick up

4th - After-School detention and parent pick up

5th - Parent/student/administrator meeting

Liability
John Barrett Middle School is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged cell phones. Students are strongly encouraged to secure personal devices at all times.

** A log will be kept for all student’s cell infractions

Parents and Guardians please remember that the San Juan Unified School District Policies require students to have a Medication Authorization Form on file with the school in order to have ANY prescription or over-the-counter medications at school. They are available online here and in the school office.

Has any of your contact information changed since August? Update your information in the Parent Portal as soon as possible so you don't miss any important information!

Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held in the gym from 12:30 PM to 2:30 PM on

This is a drop-in event — no appointments are needed!

Come meet your student’s teachers, discuss progress, and learn how we can work together to support your child’s success. We look forward to seeing you there!

Our Health Office is in need of a few supplies to help our students throughout the day. If you’re able to donate items such as snacks and/or bottled water it would be greatly appreciated!

Donations can be dropped off at the Front Office anytime during school hours.

Thank you for supporting our students and helping us care for our school community! 💙

🔎 Our Lost and Found continues to fill up with jackets, water bottles, and lunchboxes! Please remind your student to check for any missing items before the end of the month.

⚠️ Important: The lost and found is cleared out at the end of every month. Any unclaimed items will be donated or discarded.

Thank you for helping us keep our school organized and make sure belongings find their way home!
