Dear Barton Elementary School Community,

Welcome to another exciting year at Barton Elementary! It is my honor to serve as your principal, and I am thrilled to be a part of this dynamic, inclusive, and vibrant school community. As we begin this new chapter together, I want to take a moment to remind all of us of the strong foundation we build upon every day: We Are Barton.

At Barton, we are proud to be a school that celebrates diversity in every form. Our community is filled with learners from different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives, and we embrace and honor these differences. It is through this diversity that we grow, learn, and strengthen the bonds that make our school so unique. We believe every child has the ability to succeed, and we are committed to fostering a nurturing environment where all students can thrive.

As we embark on this journey together, we will work as one team to achieve the goals of each student. This means supporting them in their academic growth, guiding them as they develop socially, and helping them build the skills needed for positive behavior. Every teacher, staff member, and family partner play a key role in ensuring that our students reach their fullest potential.

We are committed to providing an environment where every child feels seen, heard, and valued. Our work is centered around ensuring each learner is equipped with the tools and support necessary to succeed not only in their studies but in life. Whether in the classroom, on the playground, on the bus, or at home, we will collaborate to ensure that our students grow into confident, responsible, and caring individuals.

Together, as a school community, we will continue to inspire each other to reach for the stars. I am excited to see all that we will accomplish this year.

Thank you for your ongoing partnership and support. Let’s make this year one of growth, achievement, and celebration for every student!

Sincerely,
Mr. Stephen Santacroce
Principal, Barton Elementary School
