Principal's Appreciation
We are always grateful to our incredible fearless leaders at Barkalow School! Thank you to our administrators, Mr. Smith and Mrs. Rosen, for their leadership.
In honor or Principal's Appreciation Day, we had a "Dress Like Mr. Smith" spirit day.
Student Walkers on Half Days
With many half days coming a the end of the school year, we would like to remind you that a written note from the parent/guardian must be provided authorizing the student to be walking after school if they are a bussed student. It is encouraged that all notes/permission slips be submitted to the office prior to the end of first period. Parents can submit a note indicating that their child will walk home from school the entire year. These students will be treated as walkers (Entire Year Walkers) and will not be required to hand in a note each time.
Please remind your children that their actions in the community represents your family as well as our school.
End of Year Schedule
Due the use of all snow days, the last day of school is
Friday, June 21st.
As a reminder, the last three days of school are early dismissal:
Wednesday, June 18th, Thursday, June 20, and Friday, June 21
Reminder that Tuesday, June 19th schools are closed.
Please remember to send in a note with your child if there is a change in their dismissal procedure.
As we come to the end of the school year, please take a moment to "shout out" a Barkalow staff member. Please use this link to recognize our amazing staff . We will be sure to celebrate this with our faculty and staff. Thank you!
