By working together—students, families, and staff—we can create an amazing school year filled with learning, leadership, and unforgettable memories.
We are especially excited to welcome our new students and families to Barron Elementary! You are now part of our Pioneer family, and we look forward to building strong relationships with each of you.

We look forward to seeing everyone very soon!

WIN TIME
WIN Time stands for “What I Need.” It is a dedicated instructional block built into the elementary school day to ensure that every student receives support based on their individual learning needs. At EPISD elementary campuses, grades K-5 participate in WIN Time which is scheduled daily for 45 minutes during the regular school day. This time is a planned, purposeful part of a child’s learning— not extra homework or optional tutoring.
