In order to boost student health and academic performance we will be transitioning our school to healthy snacks.

Barton Hill Elementary is strongly against bullying. The website stopbullying.org describes bullying as unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a power imbalance. The behavior is repeated and affects both the bully and the chid who gets bullied Bullying can be verbal like making threats, social like forcing others to leave another child out, or physical like hitting or breaking another person's things. 

Two friends who have a disagreement is not a form of bullying. We encourage them to talk about the problem and work out their differences. 

Everyday we remind our students of the three school rules:

We also work with our staff and our families to make sure our students are safe.

Every month Barton Hill recognizes one class per grade with the best attendance. Students reaching the goal of 7 or less absences (“96% Attendance Club”) will be recognized with a special end-of-the-year awards assembly with medallion necklaces. Students with “Perfect Attendance” (zero absences, zero tardies) will receive a trophy. Remember to attend school every day and on time.

Barton Hill Elementary is proud to partner with Boys and Girls Club, Angel's Gate Cultural Center and Anda's Wellness to provide opportunities for enrichment and physical wellness for our students.

We are asking students to wear navy blue bottoms (pants and shorts for boys, skirts, blue rompers and dresses to the knee for girls) polo tops for boys and polo tops or blouses for girls in white, light blue or navy blue. Students may also wear college or university t-shorts, Boys and Girls Club t-shirts or Barton Hill t-shirts in place of their uniform tops. Students are not permitted to wear sandals or any open toe shoes at any time.

We want our children to be healthy as well as good students.  We encourage you to limit junk food and discourage the consumption of sugary food items such: sodas, cupcakes, cookies, sport drinks,cakes, candy and chips (i.e. Takis and Hot Cheetos) on campus.
