Principal’s Message

Dear Parents/Guardians:

As we near the last few weeks of school in 2019 I am pleased to report our sixth graders have adjusted to their new school well. Our seventh graders have been engaged with new teachers and routines as well as learning opportunities with College Access for All and Elevate Learning. Our eighth graders have already prepared high school applications, have taken ring and gown measurements and will take part in certain High School entrance exams.

We have also had the fortunate opportunity to see our After School Center, UAU Program, CHAMPS Program and Beat The Streets Wrestling program all engage students in positive ways and benefit our students with different learning opportunities and activities once the school day ends. We have observed over three hundred students take part in these activities thus far.

Our student attendance rate is over 95% for this year already thanks to all the parents/guardians ensuring our students come to school on time every day.

We are also now reaching the point of closing our Auditorium for up to ten months of renovation. This project cause us to be very creative regarding student performances and events throughout the year. We will be in communication in the coming weeks as to our plans for the rest of the year without a school auditorium.

Please be sure to keep up to date with school events and important information by visiting www.barnes24.org. Some important upcoming events can be found below.
