Good Afternoon Barnard Families,
Tonight is our Grade 2 Family Science Night event. The event will run from 5:30-7:00 and is the final Grade Level Family Science Night in our series. The first two were big hits and with tonight's focus on Matter, I expect another fun night of hands on science fun!

Good Afternoon Barnard Families,
A successful Fire Safety Drill was conducted at Henry Barnard at approximately 10:20 this morning. As always, the students and staff completed the drill quickly and safely. Safety Drills of different types are conducted at least monthly to ensure students and staff are prepared in the event an real emergency presents itself. Thank you for your time and enjoy your evening!

Good Afternoon Barnard Families,
Tonight is our Grade 1 Family Science Night! The CT Science Center has put together several science exploration centers for our students and families to explore. The theme of tonight's event, Animal Forms and Functions, is tied directly to the first grade curriculum. Families who responded with an RSVP by the deadline are invited to come and enjoy a night of hands on science from 5:30-7:00PM this evening. Our Grade 2 Family Science Night is scheduled for next Thursday at the same time and will focus on "matter".
Thank you and enjoy your afternoon!

Good Afternoon Barnard Families,
Tonight is our Kindergarten Family Science Night with our partners from The CT Science Center. If you sent in a completed RSVP for your kindergartener before the deadline, we'll see you at 5:30PM this evening for an hour and a half of hands on weather themed science fun!
Please see below for information about tonight and the Grades 1 and 2 Family Science Nights scheduled for next week and the week after.
-The nights will be held in the Henry Barnard School all-purpose room and will run as follows:
The Kindergarten Night will run on Thursday, 3/9
The First Grade Night will run on Thursday, 3/16
The Second Grade Night will run on Thursday, 3/23
-Event times have been adjustment to run from 5:30PM - 7:00PM
-RSVPs are required to attend the events at Henry Barnard.
-Unfortunately, the RSVP window for our Kindergarten Family Science Night tonight has already closed.
-The RSVP window for the Grade 1 Family Night on 3/16 and Grade 2 Family Night on 3/23 will close tomorrow, Friday, March 10th.
-We require an RSVP because the activities are hands on and the Science Center needs to have an accurate count for the purposes of providing materials. Because of this, we will be unable to accommodate drop-ins.
-We are expecting an amazing set of fun, hands on events from our partners at the CT Science Center. The three grade level specific nights are designed to connect to our students' current curricular units of study with Kindergarteners learning about Weather, First Graders learning about Animal Forms and Functions, and Second Graders learning about Matter.
Thank you for your time and have a great night!

Similar to APP updates on your phones, the APPs we use for distance learning also require occasional updates.
If you are not using the most #UpToDate versions of certain APPs, it can (on occasion) cause an issue with completing, or submitting, some schoolwork/assignments. *It's a good idea to check for updates regularly."
