Principals' Post

We have had a great first week of school at David Barton Elementary! Our students have worked hard to practice our PBIS expectations, become familiar with classroom routines, and make new friends.

We encourage families to follow both the David Barton Elementary Facebook page and the David Barton PTA Facebook page. These pages are great ways to stay connected with school events, important updates, and upcoming family engagement opportunities.

Mrs. Jackson and Mrs. Strubel have enjoyed visiting classrooms, reading with students, and encouraging everyone to “Dream Big, Shine Bright!” this school year. We are off to a fantastic start, and we know this is going to be a wonderful school year! We are so glad to have our Pirates back!
