8th Graders - Register for the Main Event Field Trip by May 25th!

Registration closes May 25th and it is mandatory if your student wants to attend.


Be sure to register your 8th grader for this fun, last day of school activity!


If students choose not to attend Main Event, they will receive an alternate schedule for the day and should be prepared to read or complete academic work. Parents have the option to call their child out for the day, and the student can still attend Recognition that evening.

Health Compliance & Documents Needed for the Upcoming Year

Have a student entering kindergarten, 2nd, 6th, 9th or 12th grades? They will need some updated information on file with the health office. Go to the Barrington 220 website for more information.

2026 - 2027 Online Registration Now Open

Earlier this week, all PK-11 families should have received emails about completing Online Registration for the upcoming school year. Please take a few minutes before the end of the school year and complete this! Additional reminder communication will go out in June for families that have not completed OLR. Go to the Barrington 220 website for more information.

2026 - 2027 PE Uniforms

Future 7th and 8th graders should hold onto their PE uniforms and keep them in a safe place, as they will use them throughout all three years of middle school. If you need to purchase a new uniform, each item is $10 (red shirt, black shirt, and shorts) or $30 for the full set.


For our incoming 6th graders, we recommend knowing your size before purchasing your uniform and sizing up so it lasts as long as possible as you grow throughout your middle school years!


All items should be labeled with the student’s first and last name (e.g., Jane Doe/John Doe) in black Sharpie on the white nameplate. Please make sure it is written in large, clear, legible text and does not include drawings, so items can be easily returned if misplaced.
