SCHOOL COMMUNICATION
THE DB BEAT
- DB uses a weekly newsletter as the primary communication tool for upcoming events, activities, announcements, etc.
- The newsletter will be emailed on Friday afternoons with the subject line "THE DB BEAT".
- We encourage you to read The DB Beat to ensure you don't miss any announcements.
- We often hear that parents/guardians are overwhelmed by the number of emails they receive from schools, so we will send most information through the newsletter.
- Please make sure we have an email address on file for you that is checked regularly. David Barton Elementary and the Boonville School District routinely use email to communicate important information.
PARENT PORTAL
- Parent Portal is an excellent way to see your child’s assignment scores, attendance, grades, nurse’s office visits, etc.
- Please make sure you have access to the Parent Portal, if you need your login information please call the David Barton office at 660-882-6527 or email at db@bpsk12.net.
- Parent Portal also allows parents to update their contact information and their emergency contact information.
- It is imperative that we have current and accurate contact information for all students. Please notify the school if your phone number or email address changes.
- Parent Portal can be viewed on their smartphone app as well, this is an easy way to have the information available. The Campus Parent app can be downloaded in either the Apple App Store of the Google Play Store.
- Additional information on Parent Portal can be found here: https://www.bpsk12.net/parent_resources/parent_portal.
BACKPACKS/FRIDAY FOLDERS
