Hello Bobcat Families,

This is your principal Mrs. April Shackleford.

I would like to welcome our Bobcat students and families back for the 2026-27 school year. We look forward to seeing all of our Bobcats on Monday, August 24, 2026.

Parents and families will be allowed to visit classrooms from 7:30am - 8:00am during the first week of school. We will celebrate Independence Day on Monday, August 31, 2026. This means that students will enter the building independently and with the support of our Bobcat staff find their way to breakfast or to their classroom.

Please make sure that you sign up for Class Dojo in order to communicate with our Bobcat student and follow the Barnes Elementary page.

Please join our PTCO for our first annual meeting on Monday, September 14, 2026 @ 5:30pm.

All health assessments and immunizations for kindergarten students and new students to Wilson County Public Schools are due by Tuesday, September 22, 2026.

Bobcat families please remember that dismissal is at 3:00pm, which means that you should plan on being in the line for car pickup no later than 3:10pm. Continuous late pickups will result in your student being assigned to a Wilson County Schools bus route.

Have a great evening! Love ya much, Mean it!

Hola familias de Bobcat,

Les habla la directora, la Sra. April Shackleford.

Me gustaría dar la bienvenida a nuestros estudiantes y familias de Bobcat para el ciclo escolar 2026-27. Esperamos verlos a todos el lunes 24 de agosto de 2026.

Los padres y familiares podrán visitar las aulas de 7:30 a 8:00 de la mañana durante la primera semana de clases. Celebraremos el Día de la Independencia el lunes 31 de agosto de 2026. Esto significa que los estudiantes entrarán al edificio por su cuenta y, con el apoyo del personal de Bobcat, podrán ir a desayunar o a su salón de clases.

Asegúrese de registrarse en Class Dojo para poder comunicarse con nuestro estudiante de Bobcat y siga la página de Facebook de la escuela primaria Barnes.

Les invitamos a unirse a nuestra PTCO para nuestra primera reunión anual el lunes 14 de septiembre de 2026 a las 17:30.

Todas las evaluaciones de salud y las vacunas para los alumnos de jardín de infantes y los nuevos alumnos de las Escuelas Públicas del Condado de Wilson deben entregarse antes del martes 22 de septiembre de 2026.

Familias de Bobcat, recuerden que la salida es a las 3:00 p. m., lo que significa que deben estar en la fila para recoger a sus hijos en auto a más tardar a las 3:10 p. m. Si llegan tarde repetidamente, su hijo será asignado a una ruta de autobús de las Escuelas del Condado de Wilson.

¡Que tengas una gran noche! ¡Te quiero mucho, de verdad!

está en movimiento.
