Thank you Nurse Maddie for your positive attitude and always making time for all members of our learning community! This week, we would also like to shine our BMS Spotlight on Mrs. Canario! We can’t thank Mrs. Canario enough for all the work she does and for advocating for our students' Social/Emotional Needs. Thank you, Mrs. Canario, for all that you do!

Newcomers Program: DATE CHANGE!
Are you or your child new to the Barrington Community? If you have recently moved to Barrington or your child has transferred to Barrington Middle from another school district or from a private school, read on... We know how overwhelming it can be for kids to change schools. To assist in this transition we are again offering newcomers groups for students during the school day to orient them to what Barrington Middle School has to offer. If you’d like your student to participate, please feel free to contact the Student Assistance Counselor (see below) for more information! To kick off the year, we will be hosting a Newcomers Family Picnic on Thursday, October 14th from 5pm-6:15pm. Pack your picnic baskets! We will be meeting at the picnic tables outside the front of the building. This will be a great chance to meet other newcomers and their families, play some games, and learn more about Barrington! If you have any questions, or would like to learn more about the program, please reach out to Jordan Rodrigues, MA, R-DMT - Student Assistance Counselor, at (401) 247-3160 extension 1036 or email at rodriguesj@barringtonschools.org.
