Congratulations to Mrs. Padgett in Kindergarten!! She is our 2nd teacher to get 100% parent participation on her classroom DOJO. Great job!!! Barrett teachers use Class Dojo to keep parents informed of important events, news, student behavior, celebrations, homework, and homework tutorials. Teachers are able to message parents directly and parents have a direct connection to their child's classroom. If you need more information or help getting connected please talk to your child's teacher or Mrs. Della Sheehan at 205-231-9791. Thank you for all you do to help us make Barrett great!!!

Barrett Parents ... 

DID YOU KNOW?

• Starting in kindergarten, too many absences can cause children to fall behind in school.

• Missing 10 percent (or about 18 days) can make it harder to learn to read.

• Students can still fall behind if they miss just a day or two days every few weeks.

• Being late to school may lead to poor attendance.

• Absences can affect the whole classroom if the teacher has to slow down learning to help children catch up.
