Just a few days remain for our district culture survey!
Next Tuesday is the last day to take the Barrington 220 Culture Survey.
Barrington 220 has launched an exciting new Culture Survey for our community—and we want you to be part of it! Representatives from across Barrington 220 helped shape the questions, ensuring the feedback we receive truly reflects what matters most in our schools. Your responses will help us celebrate what’s working well and identify opportunities to strengthen the culture and climate that support student learning, staff well-being, and a thriving school community.
Click here to take the survey. Please note: the surveys are sorted by school. If you have children at multiple schools, we kindly ask you take a survey for each building.
Spring Parent Teacher Conferences March 19, 2026
To strengthen the partnership between parents and teachers, we are holding our spring Parent-Teacher Conferences on Thursday, March 19, 2026, from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. for an in-person conference. Again this year, we will be using Meet the Teacher to schedule conferences. More detailed information, along with the link to Meet the Teacher, will be sent out via Infinite Campus in early March. Conference scheduling will open on Monday, March 2 at 6:00 PM, and will close on Monday March 16 at 7:30 AM. For a more in-depth conversation about your student, please contact the teacher directly to schedule a meeting at another time throughout the year.
