The Barrett Bulletin

Hello Barrett Families!

As the cold weather is here, please make sure you dress your child appropriately. Students go outside for recess on any day that is above 32 degrees. A winter coat, scarf, mittens and hat would be great!

Winter brings cold and flu season among many other germs. Please make sure you keep your child home if he/she has a fever or any other symptoms of being ill. As much as we want to see our students at school every day, we also want to make sure that we keep everyone as healthy as possible. Also, the upcoming winter break is a great time to empty out your child's folder as well as wash backpacks, snack bags, etc. if possible!

On behalf of the entire Barrett Russell staff, we want to wish you and your family a happy, healthy and safe holiday vacation! We will see everyone back on Monday, January 5th!
