Missing Technology Item Fees
Recently the district business office uploaded fees for missing technology items to Infinite Campus accounts. These fees pertain to items that were not turned in during the ipad swap days in the fall when students traded their old ipads for new ones.
Fees could be related to: charging bricks, cables, or Logitech crayons. If you locate the missing item(s), please send it/them to school with your child to give to our Library Tech Assistant, Tori Wells. She will work with the business office to check in the item(s) and remove the fee(s) from your account. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Wells at: twells@barrington220.org.
See the attached pic to know which of the 57 cables floating around your house needs to be returned. đ
Time to Sign Up for the Speech Tournament!
The Speech Tournament will be held on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, at Prairie. If your child is interested in joining this year, they can join the Schoology group to get all the information for the tournament. The code for the Schoology group is: CJ4F-2FKW-FQBZ2. Please make sure they sign in to the group, not the course.

Bring It!
Your outgrown spiritwear, that is. To school. No extra trip to the resale shop required!
The PTO has placed boxes inside the main and student activities entrances to collect your too-small or rarely worn spiritwear. They are hoping to pass along items your kids have outgrown to others who can give them a second life.
The plan is for the boxes to be there throughout the year, so send 'em in!
