💙 Tomorrow is Blue Out Day! 💙 We are excited to see our Blue Jays show their school spirit by wearing BLUE from head to toe! Remember, Blue Jays are at their best when we are all here and on time, ready to learn and start the day strong. DId you know absenteeism in the first month of school can predict poor attendance throughout the school year? Half the students who miss 2-4 days in September go on to miss nearly a month of school that year. Start good habits now. Tomorrow, is also the LAST DAY to order Barnhart Spirit Wear, so don’t miss your chance to stock up on Blue Jay gear! 💙 Shop here: https://barnhart26.itemorder.com/ Let’s fill Barnhart with BLUE and show off our Blue Jay pride! 💛
Reminder: TODAY is a 2 hr early release. Barnhart dismisses at 1:30. All students must be picked up by 1:45.
😴💙 Wake Up, Show Up! Tomorrow is Pajama Day! 💛✨
Blue Jays, roll out of bed, grab your coziest pajamas, and make sure you are at school and on time! Being on time helps students start the day feeling calm, settled, and ready to learn.
Every minute matters, and every school day is a chance to learn, grow, and shine!
Be Present, Be an Attendance Hero!
Tomorrow is Superhero Day! Blue Jays, wear your favorite superhero gear (no masks) and show us your attendance superpower by being at school and ON TIME!
Did you know? Being just 10 minutes late each day can add up to 30 hours of missed learning over a 180-day school year. Arriving late can also disrupt a child’s morning routine, causing them to feel rushed, miss important directions, or even miss breakfast.
Starting the day on time helps students feel settled, prepared, and ready to learn. Every minute matters. Every day counts. Heroes show up ready to learn!
🎉 Our Joe Corbi Fundraiser Starts TODAY! 🎉
We’re kicking off our fundraiser, and we need our Blue Jays to help us soar! 💙🐦
👉 Head to www.fundprizes.com and register your student to help support field trips, fun school events, and other exciting opportunities at Barnhart Elementary!
🌟 TONIGHT’S GOAL:
Register your student AND add at least 10 contacts to your fundraiser account.
🎁 BONUS: Students who reach tonight’s goal will earn their first prize TOMORROW! 🙌
Thank you for helping us make these special experiences possible for our students! Every contact and every order helps our school community! 💙

Our fourth graders are diving into a newly adopted Social Studies curriculum that gives students exciting opportunities to ask questions, investigate, and conduct research. Right now, students are exploring how the Eastern Woodlands environment impacted the lives of early people, including how geography, natural resources, climate, and available materials influenced the way people lived.
You can support this type of learning at home by adding nonfiction books to your child’s nightly reading. Reading nonfiction is a wonderful way to build vocabulary, background knowledge, and curiosity about the world. Students may also enjoy historical fiction, which can help bring history to life through engaging stories. Popular series such as I Survived are a great choice and can spark conversations about historical events and the people who experienced them.
Even just 20 minutes of reading each night can make a meaningful difference!
