Jennie Barker Elementary

I want to congratulate our students and Ms. Oman on an amazing concert last night. The students did a fantastic job, and it was great to see so many guests come out to support them. Thank you to everyone who attended.

Tonight is Jennie Barker's Winter music program. Students need to report to Clifford Hope Auditorium at Horace Good Middle School by 5:30pm. The program will begin at 6:00pm.

Robotics practice tonight will be rescheduled for Tuesday 12/16/25 due to the Winter music program. Thanks!

Good morning Bobcats! We hope everyone had a wonderful break. Jennie Barker Robotics will practice this week on Monday and Thursday.

Due to the potential for rain, all guests coming for the Thanksgiving meal will enter through the front door and meet their students in the main hallway. Guests will be allowed entry 5 minutes before their scheduled shift. Thanks, and we look forward to seeing all of you!

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
