Barbers Hill Elementary South News
November 2017
New Main Office at Elementary South
Beginning Monday, November 27th, the Barbers Hill Elementary South office located on the 2nd/3rd grade side of our campus will become the main office for the entire campus. This consolidation will help to increase efficiency, reduce confusion, and strengthen our campus safety plan.
All visitors will enter and exit the campus through the 2nd/3rd grade main office between the hours of 8:20—3:45. Student drop-off and pick-up procedures will continue to operate as usual with 2nd and 3rd grade car riders entering and exiting on the 2/3 side and 4th and 5th grade car riders entering and exiting on the 4/5 side. All other activities, including lunch visi-tors, item drop-off, and special events will require entry through the 2/3 office.
Thank you for your continued support of our campus.
Mrs. Filer
Attendance Matters
ELEMENTARY SOUTH GOAL FOR THE YEAR: 98%

Why is attendance important?
Attendance directly impacts academic achievement.
State law requires students to attend 90% of all school days for promotion.

Medical documentation must be provided if a child misses more than 4 consecutive days.
