There is a delay in receiving this year's Corral Yearbook due to production scheduling problems.

This year the Senior Class will have their yearbooks mailed to the address of record in Infinite Campus.

If you need to make and address change, please email the Registrar, slidbury@barrington220.org

Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors will be able to pick up their yearbooks in August when they return to school.

We regret any inconvenience this may cause.

Online Registration for the 2024-25 school year will opened on Wednesday May 1st! Families planning to attend Barrington 220 Schools in August will need to register and update student and family demographic information before May 31st. Students can not be officially registered for the 2024-25 school year until Online Registration is completed.

Please note: students can only be registered by their legal guardian (of student(s) primary household.)

The link to registration will be in your Infinite Campus Parent Portal account.

• Once logged in, refer to the left side of the homepage

• Select and click the More option

• Once the list expands, select and click the Online Registration option.

Parents are asked to update family and student contact information, and medical information, and answer all required annual parent permission forms when completing Online Registration. Following a review of your registration documents, a confirming email will be sent. Please allow 5-7 working days for that email to arrive.

Please note: If your student will be a senior during the 2024-25 school year, you will request parking when completing on-line registration.

Please be aware that if there are any outstanding balances on your student's account they will not be able to get parking until those fees are paid in full.

As the end of the year approaches and the seniors finish school (5/17) all juniors, with an approved parking tag, must continue to park at FOD. The main lot will not be available for parking from 5/20 through the end of the day on 5/22"

If you have a new address or if you need to add a new student since your last registration, you will need to submit proof of address along with your registration application.

Beginning this Spring, as we look to wrap up the semester we wanted to allow all classes to wrap up and to re-emphasize the importance of attendance. Students should be physically present on these days for all rostered classes. The only periods students do not have to be in the building are for lunch or a scheduled open period.

ALL classes will meet to wrap up the semester in a way that aligns with the curriculum and expectations for the course. For example, Physical Education classes will meet, and students will participate in BFit activities and complete a checkout process. Resource classes and Academic Support classes will also meet to provide support to students in wrapping up the year. Some classes will have assessments, exams, or other academic work to complete.

SEMESTER CAPSTONE DAYS SCHEDULE

May 28: Students can still coordinate with their teacher or the testing center during an open period or the make-up period from 1:20 - 3:20pm.

May 29-31: The testing center at BHS will be open from 8am - 3pm on May 29, 30, and 31st.

After June 3rd: If a student still needs to make up a capstone, it will need to be arranged by contacting the summer school counselor, Mrs. Monica Barreiro (MBarreiro@barrington220.org) to set up a time while Summer School is in session.

TIME TO REGISTER FOR NEXT YEAR & SUPPORT NEXT YEAR’S PTO! Hard to believe, but it’s time to register students returning to District 220 in the fall. When you register (log in to Infinite Campus, select “More” on the left menu, scroll down to “Online Registration”) there is a section at the end where you can sign up for PTO emails and stay informed! In July when you pay your school fees, you can ALSO OPT TO PAY PTO DUES so we have a strong base to support students and staff going into the 2024-2025 school year. We’d love to have every family participate. Thanks in advance for your support!

CHEERS AND HAPPY END-OF-THE-SCHOOL-YEAR TO ALL!

With lots of graduation parties and events, we want everyone to HAVE FUN AND BE SAFE. Here are some SAFE PARTY TIPS (Consejos para fiestas seguras, en Español) from BStrong Together. Stay safe and see you all in the fall!

The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority and we commit to offering a safe

and secure educational environment. Barrington 220 is now partnering with an Illinois school safety helpline aimed at providing students a place to report information that might prevent bullying, suicide, and campus violence. Safe2Help is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It allows students to confidentially share school safety issues via a mobile app, text, email, or phone call. You will notice that the "See Something, Say Something" button on our district and school website now links directly to the Safe2Help contact page. We are asking that all students, parents, staff, and community members now use this platform to report safety concerns. In the case of an emergency, call 911.
