Wednesday Weekly

We look forward to you joining us at Back to School Night next Wednesday (August 27). This is an important evening in establishing the rapport between home and school, parent and teachers. I want to strongly encourage parents to attend the all school assembly in addition to their child(ren)'s classroom presentation. Among other topics, I will review the district's new e-learning plan and digital device policy. For the complete schedule, please click HERE

It is time for the NWEA Measure of Academic Progress (MAP) to be administered. All students in Barrington in second through eighth grade will be assessed in the next few weeks.

MAP tests are state-aligned computerized adaptive assessments that provide useful data and information about student achievement and growth. These untimed assessments are unique in that they adapt to each student’s ability, more accurately measuring what a child knows and needs to learn. In addition, MAP tests measure academic growth over time, independent of grade level or age. MAP test results provide educators with timely information that guides instructional planning and school improvement.

Families, as the significant road work on Route 14 continues, our transportation company is reminding everyone that pick up and drop off delays are to be expected, and may change from week to week. Make sure to download the My Ride K-12 app, which follows the bus in real time and can help prepare you for schedule adjustments on a given day.
