Other Bits of Information
Background Checks: Background checks need to be updated every two years in order to volunteer in our school and district. It is two years from the date on the check submitted. This means, your background check could expire in the middle of the school year. Once the background check expires, you will no longer be able to volunteer until you have an updated background check submitted to the district. If you are unsure when your background check expires, please email Anita DiMatteo (dimatteoa@barringtonschools.org) to find out.
Breakfast: Sometimes mornings can be difficult and your child may not eat breakfast before coming to school. If that’s the case, your child may purchase breakfast at school for $1.00 (reduced price is $0.40).
