Middle School Parent Panel

Are you a parent of an 5th grader who will attend Barrington Middle School (BMS) this fall or know someone who will? Do you have a million questions?


Join us for an informal Q&A session designed especially for current 5th grade parents and others new to BMS both campuses. Veteran BMS parents will share details on what you really need to know and answer questions about life at the middle school level. Parent representatives will be able to answer questions about how lunch works, if kids really use their lockers, IEPs/504s, different fine arts, or athletic extracurriculars, extended and language programs.


Join us for an informational session at the Barrington Area Library on Thursday, 3/9, from 9:30-11:30 AM. Please register so we can be properly prepared for our audience.

Parent University Previously Recorded March 6

Technology plays an increasingly prominent role in the daily lives of our students, and middle school is a unique time with new challenges. Barrington 220 is hosting an informational presentation on supporting middle schoolers as they navigate the challenges and opportunities technology offers. With an emphasis on the early teenage years, we will cover topics such as online safety, social media use, digital citizenship, and balancing screen time with other important aspects of life.

If you were unable to attend the Parent University this week you can watch it here.
