Parent-Teacher Conferences

The school district sets aside two full days per semester for parent/teacher conferences. Parents are encouraged to schedule conferences with teachers any time they have questions or concerns about their child or concerns about classroom procedures or policies.  When parents skip that vital connection with the teacher and go directly to the principal, they will be “rerouted” back to the teacher. We will use ParentSquare for PTC sign up.

Visitor Check-in

All visitors, including parents, need to check in at the office and sign-in before continuing on through the building.  This is for the safety of all the students.

Classroom Visits

Parents are welcome to visit their child’s classroom at Barnette Magnet School, however they are required to arrange a time with the teacher prior to the visit.  Visitors with appointments during school will still need to sign-in at the office.

Deliveries

Deliveries of balloons, flowers, candy, etc. will not be delivered to the classroom due to allergies and the disruption that they bring to the learning environment.  They may be picked up in the office after school.

Digital Communication

Good communication between home and school is a priority for Barnette Magnet School.  It is very important for parents and guardians to keep the office updated with current phone numbers, email addresses, and address changes.  In addition to mail, teachers and office staff will use telephone or ParentSquare (PSQ) to message or email to make announcements and post news.  The best place for parents to get information about their student(s) is PowerSchool. The Barnett Blast will go out via PSQ weekly. 

PowerSchool is a web-based resource for teachers, students and parents offering secure access to student information such as school calendars, announcements, assignments, attendance, and grade information.  Students and parents have a 24/7 communication link to our school, class assignments, and their student’s performance.   Parents need to check their child’s progress on a regular basis as this is the school’s way of informing parents of low grades.  If you do not have access to a computer, please inform the office, so that grade reports and/or notification of missing assignments can be sent home with your child.  PowerSchool can also be accessed through the its app.

Lost and Found

Our lost and found is located in the hallway to the playground where it develops a life of its own and grows to gigantic proportions! Please check it often.  Items left over at the end of each quarter will be donated to a local agency.  Label your child’s gear to help ensure return.

Lunch and Breakfast Programs

Children may purchase breakfast and hot lunch through our Nutrition Service program.  Children who prefer to bring lunch from home may purchase milk separately.  Please be sure to check with your child to see that they know their student ID#.  This number will remain the same for your child as long as they are enrolled in the FNSBSD.
