Good morning Barbieri Family,
As we start the week with the first day of MAY I want to send a friendly reminder that MCAS testing will continue again this week! Please reach out to classroom teachers with any questions. The MCAS schedule is below. Please read the schedule to be informed of when your child will be testing if they are in grades 3-5. You will also receive a MCAS testing reminder the day before testing.
Have a great week,
Maria

MESSAGE FROM THE BARBIERI PTO
We were supposed to be writing beautiful chalk messages for our wonderful teachers and staff tomorrow afternoon, but unfortunately, the weather is not cooperating. So we have decided to postpone the chalk messages and drawings to next Sunday, May 7, from 2-6pm in front of Barbieri school.
However, next week's other activities for our wonderful Barbieri staff and teachers is still on!
If you would like to be a part of the Tuesday breakfast, see the sign up genius below. If you could please have your child(ren) make cards for their teachers, specials teachers, administrators, office staff, and custodians and bring them in on Wednesday. Then on Thursday we will be giving the teachers a Nacho bar for lunch to sustain them through their parent-teacher conferences. Friday, we will be doing a Raffle for prizes to award the teachers. We need much help to make all these things happen for our amazing staff at Barbieri. Please go to the links below to help in the way that best works for you.

During testing ALL ELECTRONIC DEVICES ARE PROHIBTED. This includes cell phones and apple watches, etc. Please be sure that you discuss with your child that if they chose to still bring these devices to school they will need to give these devices to their classroom teacher/testing proctor BEFORE testing begins and they will receive them AFTER the testing session has ended. This is a non-negotiable. If any device is set off (rings, vibrates, etc.) during testing we risk having to invalidate tests.
Thank you for all of your support at home and for understanding!
