The Barton Scoop

What an amazing first full week of school! Our students jumped right into routines, embraced expectations, and launched their learning with excitement and success. The joy and energy in our classrooms and hallways have set such a positive tone for the year. Looking ahead, we can’t wait to welcome families to our Scholastic Book Fair and our Welcome Back Water Ice Night. Here’s to keeping the momentum going—have a wonderful weekend, Barton family!

Please make it a priority to review the traffic plan and arrival and dismissal procedures. Last year, we had to involve CHPD due to blocked crosswalks, which created serious safety concerns. We must all do our part—be considerate of others and remain vigilant. Our goal is clear: to keep EVERYONE safe.

Family Day at Clara Barton Elementary is a cherished school-wide tradition where classes pair across grade levels to build community and foster meaningful connections. Together, students engage in activities that focus on social-emotional learning, character development through our “We Are” words, and teamwork through games and reflection. It’s a time for students to strengthen peer relationships, celebrate school spirit by wearing their CBE gear, and take pride in being part of the CBE family.
