Don’t miss out on the many special events taking place before the holidays! Here’s a look at our final two weeks of Q2 #undertheBartonDome!
We look forward to welcoming our students back to school on Monday. Here's a look at our week ahead!
Dear Barton Families,
I wanted to take a moment to extend my gratitude to each of you for your support of our school and students. As I pause over Thanksgiving Break, I can't help but reflect on how special this school truly is to our community. Our students, parents, staff, and community partners do not accept anything less than excellence. Over a short five-year span, Barton was "reimagined", renovated, reopened, and now shines as a positive example of superior public education across our community, state, nation, and even on the world stage.
This wouldn't be possible without our entire "village" coming together with an aligned vision for creating the BEST learning environment for our incredible students who come from all over Mobile County. THANK YOU for being a special part of our Barton community. I wish you and yours a very special and blessed Thanksgiving holiday!
Happy Thanksgiving,
Dr. Jones

A special reminder that students in grades 6-8 will take ACAP Fall Practice tests tomorrow. They need chargers at school and need to arrive on-time ready to "lock-in" (as the kids say! - aka "focus").
