Barnes Elementary

One of the most common misconceptions about free meal programs is that participation somehow takes resources away from another child. In reality, school meal and summer meal programs are funded based on participation, meaning every meal served helps bring additional federal dollars into our schools and community. When an eligible child receives a free meal, they are not taking from someone else, they are helping strengthen programs, services, and resources that benefit students across the district.

Next new intro of professional teaching staff—— exciting!! Please join me in a huge welcome to Ms. Kristin Finley who will be joining our Grade 4 Team! She comes to us from Bixby and has tons of experience teaching 4th graders, a perfect fit actually! She’s trained already in implementation of Great Expectations (GE) and loves serving kids and families that belong to them! You will see her at every Rams football game and probably lots of other scenes around Owasso. I can’t wait for you to get to know her too-my staff is already impressed!
