Teachers send home materials and books each day. It is the caretakers' job to review the take-home folder, help students with the materials, and read the books. With take-home books, many teachers ask for caretaker feedback on the student's reading. Be sure to read and send the book back to school, so future students can read it.

We will host a Kindergarten Lab (K-Lab) Virtual Round-Up Informational Session on Wednesday, Feb. 26, from 6 - 7 p.m. for parents of incoming kindergarteners. Learn more about this unique, full-day program at Barrington High School, which offers a one-of-a-kind educational experience for our youngest learners and our high school students. K-Lab students participate in numerous activities with high school students, such as horticulture activities inside the BHS greenhouse, authentic learning experiences inside the state-of-the-art culinary arts lab, musical instrument exploration with high school band and orchestra students, and cultural celebrations. K-Lab students form connections to their home school through participation in extracurricular and PTO events throughout the year and complete grades 1-5 at their home elementary school. For more information about K-Lab and the virtual program link for Feb.26th, visit: https://www.barrington220.org/families/kindergarten-information.
