Barron Pioneer Families 2025-26

Barron Families,

As we welcome November, a month of gratitude and thankfulness, we take a moment to reflect on all that we have accomplished together and all that lies ahead. This month, we pause to honor and remember our veterans, celebrate the spirit of Thanksgiving, and continue building a community where every Pioneer learns and belongs. 🧡

🌟 Celebrating October Successes

As October comes to a close, let’s celebrate the incredible momentum across our community! We began with safety training, reinforcing our shared responsibility to ensure Barron remains a safe, supportive place for students and staff.

Our campus shined with family and community engagement through:

• 🏃‍♀️ Family Fitness Day

• ☕ Coffee with the Principal & Instructional Coaches

• 🎃 Trunk or Treat

• 🦮 Sunny’s Anti-Bite Class with Jess and Madusa

• 
  

Each event reflected our collective commitment to belonging, connection, and joy among our Barron families.

🔸 Continuing the Momentum

This week, we continue our focus and momentum:

• 📖 Strengthening Tier 1 instruction with clarity and alignment.

• ✈️ Welcoming Author Graciela Tiscareño-Sato (Mama Captain) to inspire our students and students.

• 🦮 Enjoying another visit from Jess and Madusa with our 3rd–5th grade students.

And of course — it’s time for our annual “Reading Under the Stars” family event! 🌠 on Friday, Nov. 7th from 5-7.

You make the difference on this special night as we come together to celebrate the joy and importance of reading. Our new staff and new families are in for a treat as they experience this beautiful tradition that highlights one of our greatest values — reading is a priority for all.

🏫 Campus Pride

A heartfelt thank you to Mr. Diaz and our custodial team for their outstanding work! During our central-office campus walk, their dedication to maintaining a safe, organized, and welcoming learning environment was evident and deeply appreciated.

❤️ A Note of Gratitude

As we approach Thanksgiving, let’s carry a spirit of gratitude for one another, for our students, families, teachers, those in great need, and for the meaningful work we do daily.

I am proud beyond words of the effort, energy, and culture of excellence . Remember — even a 1° change in effort can make all the difference. Together, we continue to live our vision of Barron Elementary — where Pioneers learn and belong.

Familias de Barron,

Al dar la bienvenida a noviembre, un mes de gratitud y agradecimiento, nos tomamos un momento para reflexionar sobre todo lo que hemos logrado juntos y todo lo que nos depara el futuro. Este mes, hacemos una pausa para honrar y recordar a nuestros veteranos, celebrar el espíritu de Acción de Gracias y seguir construyendo una comunidad donde cada Pionero aprende y se siente parte de ella. 🧡

🌟 Celebrando los éxitos de octubre

Al finalizar octubre, ¡celebremos el increíble impulso que ha experimentado nuestra comunidad! Comenzamos con capacitación en seguridad, reforzando nuestra responsabilidad compartida de garantizar que Barron siga siendo un lugar seguro y de apoyo para estudiantes y personal.

Nuestro campus brilló con la participación de las familias y la comunidad a través de:

🏃‍♀️ Día de Bienestar Familiar

☕ Café con el Director y los Asesores Pedagógicos

🎃 Dulce o Truco en el Maletero

🦮 Clase Anti-Mordiscos de Sunny con Jess y Madusa

Cada evento reflejó nuestro compromiso colectivo con la pertenencia, la conexión y la alegría entre las familias de Barron.

🔸 Manteniendo el impulso

Esta semana, continuamos con nuestro enfoque y ritmo:

📖 Fortaleciendo la instrucción de Nivel 1 con claridad y coherencia.

✈️ Damos la bienvenida a la autora Graciela Tiscareño-Sato (Mamá Capitana) para inspirar a nuestros estudiantes.

🦮 Disfrutamos de otra visita de Jess y Madusa con nuestros estudiantes de 3.º a 5.º grado.

Y por supuesto, ¡llegó la hora de nuestro evento familiar anual "Lectura Bajo las Estrellas"! 🌠 El viernes 7 de noviembre de 5 a 7 p. m.

Ustedes marcan la diferencia en esta noche especial, donde nos reunimos para celebrar la alegría y la importancia de la lectura. Nuestro nuevo personal y las nuevas familias disfrutarán de esta hermosa tradición que resalta uno de nuestros valores más importantes: la lectura es una prioridad para todos.

🏫 Orgullo del campus

¡Un sincero agradecimiento al Sr. Díaz y a nuestro equipo de limpieza por su excelente trabajo! Durante nuestro recorrido por el campus de la oficina central, su dedicación a mantener un ambiente de aprendizaje seguro, organizado y acogedor fue evidente y profundamente apreciada.

❤️ Una nota de gratitud

Al acercarnos al Día de Acción de Gracias, mantengamos un espíritu de gratitud hacia los demás, hacia nuestros estudiantes, familias, maestros, quienes más lo necesitan y por el valioso trabajo que realizamos a diario.

Me enorgullece enormemente el esfuerzo, la energía y la cultura de excelencia. Recuerden: incluso un pequeño cambio en el esfuerzo puede marcar la diferencia. Juntos, seguimos haciendo realidad nuestra visión de la Escuela Primaria Barron: donde los Pioneros aprenden y se sienten parte de la comunidad.
