RTI BEGINS NEXT WEEK

Tuesday, October 17th, all David Barton students will receive support within a Response to Intervention (RTI) model, on Monday-Friday from 8:15-8:40 AM. This has created a daily schedule change that makes it very important that all students arrive at school by 8:05 AM.

If your child eats breakfast at school, we ask that they arrive by 7:45 AM to allow time for him/her to eat before they change classrooms for RTI.
