The Barton Scoop

We are thrilled to share that Mrs. Diaz-Bass has joined the Barton Family as our new Assistant Principal! She will be splitting her time between Barton and Kilmer, and we are so excited to have her in the Eagles’ Nest. 🦅 Please help us give her the warmest Barton welcome!

A huge thank you to our amazing CBE PTA for helping us celebrate and for welcoming both of our new leaders this week. Ms. O’Neill, our new school counselor, has already been making such a positive difference with students! 💙

We wrapped up the week with our first CBE Family Day Kick-Off Assembly — full of Eagle pride, cheers, and smiles. What an incredible start to the school year!

School Closure Reminder: School will be closed on Thursday, October 2, for Yom Kippur

***Our Lost and Found is already filling up with jackets, water bottles, and sweatshirts. 🧥🥤 Please label all of your child’s belongings so we can help items make their way back home quickly.

Every school day counts! Regular attendance helps children build strong learning habits, stay connected with classmates, and succeed academically. Please remember that attendance letters are sent home after 4 unexcused absences. Thank you for partnering with us to support your child’s success!

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.
