Welcome Parents and Guardians
We welcome our students' families and guardians to join us in preparing today's students to take charge of America's future. We recognize that raising children is a team effort, and that students benefit from an educational team involving our schools and you.
Research shows that the more parents and guardians get involved in their child's education, the higher level of success that student can achieve. Family engagement is as potent as rocket fuel, and with it, there's no telling how high your child can soar.
What's the best way to get involved? Contact your PTA and reach out to the Barnard front office or Principal. The district's Parent Outreach and Engagement Department offers programs and resources in the most effective ways to help your child academically.
Barnard and Barnard PTA offers families, guardians and community members many ways to pitch in, often with seemingly small tasks that can have far-reaching results. You can:
- Join Barnard PTA;
- Chaperone field trips;
- Volunteer in the classroom;
- Support the Drop Off Zone;
- Help with Campus Clean-up;
- Help setup and decorations for school events;
- Run a booth at a PTA event.
Barnard Mandarin Magnet Elementary School is committed to involving student families and the community. It is official policy to establish effective partnerships at every level in the educational process - from our classrooms, to company boardrooms, to family living rooms.
