Clara Barton Elementary School
A Word From Our Principal
Welcome to the 2026–2027 School Year!
Dear Barton Families,
Welcome back, Barton Bees!
I hope you and your family had a wonderful summer filled with rest, laughter, and special memories. As we begin another school year, I am excited to welcome both our returning and new families to Clara Barton Elementary. The first day of school always brings a sense of hope, possibility, and excitement, and I can't wait to see our campus buzzing with the energy of our students once again.
This year marks the beginning of my sixth year as principal of Barton. Looking back over the past five years, I am incredibly proud of all we have accomplished together. We have celebrated successes, learned through challenges, and watched our students grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Most importantly, we have built a school community where students are known, supported, challenged, and encouraged to believe in themselves.
Attendance
Attention all Students and Families!
We are thrilled to announce our school’s attendance goal for this year. Our aim is to achieve an attendance rate of 97% or higher.
Why is attendance so important?
Attending school regularly not only ensures that students don’t miss out on valuable instruction, but it also helps them develop vital skills, build strong relationships, and create a positive school culture. By being present every day, our students can maximize their learning potential and create a solid foundation for their future success.
