Roslyn Road Elementary School

Roslyn parents, if you haven't completed the 5Essentials parent survey, please take a moment to share your feedback before spring break! Your responses provide specific and actionable information on topics such as parent connectedness, parent overall satisfaction, parent-teacher interaction, parent assessment of teacher trust, and parent assessment of school safety.

The survey takes just a few minutes and is available here: https://survey.5-essentials.org/Illinois/. Barrington 220 is under the Lake County Regional Office of Education, so please select Lake County in the dropdown menu for all Barrington 220 schools. Thank you for taking the time to share your insights!

Thank you BHS-TV students for visiting Roslyn today to talk to our 5th graders about what BHS-TV does and all of the skills you have learned from participating in the program!

This week Barrington 220 is launching a book study called One Book, One Community! The book study, hosted by our District Equity Team, aligns with the Inclusive Education priority in our district’s strategic plan, Framework 220.

The book study will feature the book Breaking the Code with Gabriella, written by current BHS students Hafsah Khan, Cindy Wang, and 2024 graduate Sarah Pinto. BTCWG is a story about the fight for inclusivity and belonging in STEM spaces, following the story of a young girl, Gabriella, who joins her robotics team as the only girl. Learn more about the book here: https://www.breakingthecodewithgabriella.com/

⭐️You can pick up a FREE copy of Breaking the Code with Gabriella at your child's school during Parent-Teacher Conferences on October 17. SUPPLIES ARE LIMITED, so be sure to grab one while they last! For additional copies, visit the Barrington Area Library or the District Administrative Center.⭐️

We will culminate this community-wide read with a special fireside chat featuring our student authors at the annual Winter Wonderfest celebration at BHS on December 13!

Thanks to the Barrington 220 Educational Foundation for purchasing the books for this book study!

Traditional early voting at polling locations in the Barrington area will open later this month on October 21! Read more in our October newsletter 🎃: https://conta.cc/3zEcisL

So much fun at the homecoming parade today!

Our community takes great pride in our schools, for good reason. We continue to be one of the highest-rated districts in the state as we empower personal excellence in every learner.

As a community, we collaborated throughout 2024 to develop a comprehensive plan to enhance our schools, addressing significant infrastructure needs while maintaining fiscal responsibility. Nearly 2,500 community members helped shape this plan, which will appear as a referendum question on the November 5 election ballot.

If successful, the $64M referendum will:

✅ Increase Safety & Security throughout Barrington 220
✅ Build a New Community Auditorium at Barrington High School
✅ Enhance STEAM and Instructional Spaces for Students
