🚀 5th Grade Fun at STAR BASE! 💙
Our Barnes Bluejay 5th graders had an amazing time participating at STAR BASE! Students enjoyed hands-on learning experiences in science, technology, engineering, and math while exploring exciting activities that encouraged teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity.
It was a fantastic opportunity for our Bluejays to learn in a fun and engaging environment — we are so proud of them for representing Barnes so well!
Reminder for our 5th Grade Parents: Tonight is Parent Night at the CAHS Performing Arts Center at 6:00 pm.
💙 Happy School Counselor Week! 💙
We are so thankful for our amazing school counselor, Mrs. Paris! She supports our Bluejays with kindness, patience, and care, helping students grow socially, emotionally, and academically every day.
Mrs. Paris is always there to listen, encourage, and guide our students and staff, making Barnes a safer, happier place to learn. We are truly grateful for everything she does for our school community!
Thank you, Mrs. Paris, for the heart you bring to Barnes — we appreciate you this week and every week! 💙

CAMS 5th Grade Parent Night will be Feb. 3 at 6 PM at the CAHS Performing Arts Center.
After our team drove throughout the district this morning, we are ready to be back in school. Welcome back!
The roads aren't perfect. There are still some slick spots in neighborhoods, along with a few intersections near Barnes, Schwartz, and Pleasant Hill Elementary. We encourage families to plan for extra time getting their students to school. Bus routes may run a little more slowly in these areas as well.
We will ask schools to be mindful of these conditions when marking students tardy at the beginning of the school day.
We understand that parents have the ultimate responsibility to decide what's safe for your child. Our school parking lots and sidewalks have been cleared, and we will have warm meals. If you can't get out of your neighborhood, please call your child's absence into their school.

An important message from Dr. Cobb.
Good afternoon -
We have been out driving roads and are seeing some improvement. Of course, better doesn't mean great. The forecast shows temperatures hovering around the freezing mark overnight. Right now, I'm 50/50 on being in school tomorrow. The final decision will be made when my team and I get up early in the morning and test roads in different parts of the district. Our decision will be made by 5:00 am, at which point we will send out messages, either way.
I know that leaves our families and staff in limbo, and I'm sorry for that, but I never take the responsibility of this decision lightly. As much as I'd love to have the right answer right now, I'm going to ask for your patience. The goal is always to teach our students and be safe doing it.
With that in mind, stay warm and safe. Hopefully, we'll see you tomorrow.
