Dear Parents:
The faculty and staff of Barnes Elementary welcome you to the 2007- 2008 school year. We want to assure you that we have the best interest of your child at heart and will do our best to provide each student with the motivation and confidence to learn. Our faculty and staff will be committed to helping our students develop the characteristics and qualities that will enable them to achieve academic success.
Barnes Elementary will emphasize basic skills as well as the practical application of those skills. We want students to be academically competent and involved in learning; to be self motivated and self disciplined; to set and work toward goals; to be problem solvers; to feel good about themselves and most importantly, to be life long learners.
We believe in fair and consistent discipline because discipline is necessary to have an environment that will give your child every opportunity to grow academically.
Barnes Elementary believes in YOU : the parent. Parents/Guardians and the school WORKING TOGETHER is the key to success for our students. Stay involved in their day to day lives. Get to know the teachers and staff. Do not hesitate to ask questions, visit classes, attend events and volunteer as your schedule permits.
We will keep in touch with you during the year and bring you up to date on school activities through the school newsletter and other notices. We are looking forward to working with you and your children to make this a positive, successful school year.
Sincerely,
Laura Valenciano, Principal
