The Barrett Bulletin

Hello Barrett Families!

November is in full swing, and we have lots of fun activities and events happening at the Barrett! Due to unforeseen circumstances, our school wide pajama/dance party was postponed to this upcoming Friday, November 14th! Miss Marybeth will also be pied in the face by Miss Jean's room :)

You should be receiving conference sign-up sheets from your child's teacher. Please return it ASAP so the teachers can plan accordingly. If you need a translator or would prefer a phone conference, please make sure to indicate it on the form. We will be hosting our annual Scholastic Book Fair during the week of November 17-21.

As Veteran's Day is this week, we want to recognize a very special veteran of our own. Saturday, November 8th marked the one-year anniversary that the Barrett Russell lost a beloved family member of our school community - Mr. Tony. Although we have named the last Friday of May "Mr. Tony Day" we always want to remember him on this day as well.

For our World of Wonders curriculum, we are focusing on Unit 2 - Friendship! The focus questions that students will be working on in class are: What can we do with our friends? and why are rules important? For our Character Strong curriculum, students will be focusing on Gratitude.

As the holidays are fast approaching, we would like to make sure that our families are supported and have what they need. Information regarding Thanksgiving and Christmas went home with your child last Friday. Please reach out to our School Adjustment Counselor, Ms. Tricia Thomas if you need assistance.

Our family conferences are coming up on November 20th and 21st! Sign up information will be going out this week. We will be doing a book fair the week of conferences and will also be doing raffles.
