Hello Barrowtown families!

On behalf of the Barrowtown PAC I would like to welcome everyone to the 2021/22 school year, whether you are new to the school or have been here for years we are so happy to have you all in our Barrowtown Family! 

This school year holds a lot of opportunity that as regulations and restrictions change we will be hold more community events- we are hopeful that we will be able to see all of you this year at school events!

Our first PAC meeting will be Tuesday, September 14th at 3:30

This will be a year to remember. I think all of us are happy to put 2020-21 in the rearview mirror. While we did a truly heroic job of navigating the pandemic last year, I think it’s fair to say that none of us wants to do it again. But let’s take a minute to reflect on our efforts. Not only did we live through a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic, but we were also able to keep our schools open, take care of each other and – most importantly – fulfill our mission to provide the best possible education to our students.

With the recent Ministry announcement that our schools will be returning to Stage 1 (“near normal”) operations for the coming year, I cannot help but reflect on the enormity of what we have accomplished this year in our province, and particularly here in Abbotsford. Put simply, our staff – all of them – have done a phenomenal job of keeping our schools open and functioning during a global pandemic, the likes of which none of us have ever experienced. This is worthy of celebration and profound gratitude.

Dear Barrowtown Parents & Families,

The students were prepared to have the school’s panoramic photo taken rain or shine today, but because there are several staff absences, we decided it would be best to postpone picture day to another time.   Here are several other updates to share with our school community:
