Barron Pioneers 2026-27

Dear Barron Families,

I hope you and your family have enjoyed a wonderful, safe, and relaxing summer! As the first day of school approaches, our excitement continues to grow as we prepare to welcome our Pioneers back to campus.

This year, our campus theme is "The Power of One: Blazing New Trails." We believe that every child has the power to make a difference, and together we will build a school where every Pioneer learns, belongs, and succeeds. 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.

Please take a few moments to review all of the information and important links included in this newsletter. You will find updates about:

• Arrival and dismissal procedures

• Parent communication resources

• And other back-to-school information

Our staff has been working hard throughout the summer to prepare our classrooms and campus to ensure every student has a safe, welcoming, and engaging learning environment. We cannot wait to open our doors and begin another incredible year together!

Thank you for your continued partnership and support. Together, we will make the 2026–2027 school year our best yet.

We look forward to seeing everyone very soon!

Remember...

🌟 The Power of One Starts With You!

One School. One Family. One Purpose. One Pioneer at a 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.
