COMMUNICATION

Parents and caregivers play a vital role in supporting the overall learning experience.  St. Barnabas strongly encourages regular communication between staff, parents and students.  We provide a number of technological tools to assist this effort including:

Innovative and user-friendly website (www.stbarnabasparish.org) providing:

• School calendar, staff directory, upcoming news/events and parish information
• Access to your child's grades and attendance through Power School
• Access to homework assignments and class information through School Notes

Weekly school newsletters via email

Email and phone-notification-system through School Reach for emergency notifications, priority news updates, etc.

Updates regarding your child’s experience and progress are also communicated the following ways:

• Parent Night: In September, parents are invited to meet the teachers, discuss curriculum, classroom practices and discipline procedures.
• Parent-Teacher-Student Conferences: Conferences are scheduled in November and by request in March for grades K-8.
• Faculty and Staff provide regular contact via email, phone and meetings, by appointment.
