Dear Families, Welcome to Barry Hahn Primary! We are very excited to have your child join us as a BHP Bear! This school year we look forward to partnering with you and your family to make school a wonderful experience. We can’t wait to love your child and create meaningful memories that will last a lifetime. While at school, your child will be a part of a pod community, surrounded by students and staff who all have a common goal: to make learning fun! Friendships, health, wellness, academic achievement and, above all, safety are our daily priorities which support a culture where students thrive. Our teachers are committed to a high-quality learning experience focused on engagement and the needs of each child. Every morning we start our day with “Bear News” live. During this newscast, we review our schoolwide expectations and celebrate students who have earned Bear Awards and Principal Pencils. Ask your child about these expectations: B - Be Respectful H - Help Spread Kindness P - Practice Makes Progress Our school community has a long-standing tradition of excellence in academics and family involvement. We believe that all of us, the school and the community, must work together as an extended family to ensure success for all our students. You are invited to be an active participant at Barry Hahn Primary. Whether you are a classroom volunteer, a member of PTO, or a special event participant, you are encouraged to be involved! Increasing parent involvement in our school is a high priority for us. One of our most important responsibilities to you is that we keep you informed of all that is taking place at the school. One of the ways we do this is through Class Dojo. You can find up-to-date events, classroom photographs, and additional information. Please connect through your child's teacher if you haven’t already. We look forward to having a long and rewarding relationship with you and your family. Sincerely, Jenna Brown, Principal Matt Pollock, Assistant Principal
