We want to extend a HUGE thank you to the Orleans Fire Department and Justin Peart for visiting Barton Graded on October 8th during Fire Prevention month to review fire prevention strategies, what to do if you experience a fire in your home and how the department helps the community! They also had the opportunity to learn about the fire truck and see the inside. In November, our middle school students will be visiting the Orleans Ambulance Bay and Fire Department.

Good afternoon,
In an effort to improve our schools' communication with students and their caregivers, the EMS district schools have adopted a new grading and reporting system called SmartScore. This system has many helpful tools and features that will hopefully make feedback more clear, accurate, and helpful for students. We hope that it will also make students' growth and progress easier for families to see and understand as well. Please review the attached document that provides an overview of the new system and provides you with login information so you can sign in and see how your student is doing. Teachers are working on putting student work into the new system right now, so please be patient as the transition takes place and we get everything up and running.
Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions you might have. Thank you for your support of our schools!

We are thrilled to present our Tigers of the Month who were recognized last week in front of their peers at a whole school assembly for showing consistent CUBS behaviors (Caring, Understanding, Brave and Safe) during the month of September. At the assembly, we also celebrated students with birthdays in August and September and debuted our school song, an adaptation of Eye of the Tiger, sung by several of our middle school students. We look forward to our next assembly at the end of this month.
