A Positive Start to the Year

The first week of school has been filled with excitement, energy, and joy as students and staff returned to our Barton community. Classrooms are alive with learning, friendships are forming, and our shared commitment to resilience and growth is already shining through. We are grateful for the support of our families and proud of the strong start to what promises to be an inspiring year ahead.

Traffic Plan Traffic Plan

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 partβ€”be considerate of others and remain vigilant. Our goal is clear: to keep EVERYONE safe.

Arrival Plan Arrival Plan

Here are the important arrival procedures to keep in mind:


Student Arrival Time:

Student arrival begins promptly at 8:45 am. To ensure a smooth start to the day, we kindly request that no students are dropped off prior to this time. Please note that supervision is not available before 8:45 am.


Late Arrival:

Students arriving after 9:00 am are considered late and must be accompanied by an adult to sign in at the front door. This ensures both safety and accurate attendance records.


Drop-Off by Car:

For parents dropping off students by car, we've established a single-file lane that runs alongside the buses. To maintain a seamless flow, we ask that you wait your turn and use the designated drop-off point at the A Wing entrance (refer to the provided diagram).


Efficient Exit:

When dropping off your child, please have them ready to exit on the curb side of the vehicle. This ensures their safety. After drop-off, we kindly request that parents remain in a single file as you exit the school property. Our staff traffic supervisors will be on hand to guide and assist.

Dismissal Plan Dismissal Plan

We believe that a well-organized dismissal process is essential for the safety of our students. Here's a breakdown of our dismissal procedures to ensure a seamless transition at the end of each school day:


Dismissal Time:

Dismissal will commence at 3:30 pm, organized into four distinct waves for different groups of students.


First Wave:

- Students enrolled in SACC (School-Age Child Care) will gather in the APR (All-Purpose Room).

-Parents picking up Kindergarten students will find them waiting at the front Kindergarten classroom doors for a secure parent pick-up.

- Parents picking up First Grade students will find them waiting at the front First grade classroom doors for a secure parent pick-up.


Second Wave:

- Grade 2-5 walkers will exit through the B Wing.

- Parents planning to meet their child during this wave should park their vehicles and proceed to the B Wing pick-up location.


Third Wave:

- Kindergarten bus riders will board their respective buses.


Fourth Wave:

- Grade 1-5 bus riders will board their designated buses.


- Students using the bus service must ensure they report to their assigned buses on time. In case a student misses their designated bus, they should promptly proceed to the main office to contact a parent for pick-up arrangements.

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 β€œWe 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.
