Shift in Lunch Set-up
Starting on Tuesday of next week, the students will be distanced at 6ft. apart from one another during lunch. This is a shift from the 3ft. distance we have been maintaining up until this point. This shift is meant to be a proactive approach to minimize the need for students to quarantine as a result of being considered close contacts during lunch when masks are off and students are closer than 6ft.
Parent Emails Going to Spam
Throughout the past several weeks, our email provider (Google) has been classifying a high volume of messages as spam from yahoo.com email addresses. This affects many of our parents who use their Yahoo email accounts to communicate with Barrington 220 staff. As a result, if you have sent an email to school staff and have not received a response, please follow-up with a phone call, as it is likely that your message has not been seen by our staff. We are hoping that Google resolves this issue in the near future as it is affecting all school districts, businesses, and other organizations that use Google Workspace. School staff will be periodically checking their spam folder, however, our communication with you is important, so please don’t hesitate to call the school to reach a staff member if you suspect your messages are not going through.
Family Pictures
We are offering the opportunity for Grove families to come in on two different evenings to take family pictures to be added to our collage of Grove Families that we will be putting back up in the main hallway of the school. The pictures will be taken on Tuesday, September 7th and Wednesday, September 8th from 4:00 p.m. -8:00 p.m. Click on the link to choose a time slot to have your family picture taken on the Sign-Up Genius.
