STUDENT VOTE - COME PARTICIPATE ON OCTOBER 16th, from 3:00 - 7:00 PM
On October 16, 2024, residents of the Nanuet Public Library District will vote on a Bond that would fund a proposed renovation of the aging building at 149 Church Street. The public library is regularly used by our Barr students.
All K-12 Nanuet students will also get the opportunity to experience civic duty by participating in a vote specific to their school.
The Student Voting for ALL SCHOOLS will take place at A. MacArthur Barr on October 16th, from 3:00 - 7:00 PM. We encourage all district students to come vote in the student vote and then go with their parents/guardians to the public library for the parent vote.
At Barr, we are always looking for new ways to empower our students with developing their voice and leadership skills. The school and library votes on October 16th are a fantastic way for families to engage in a civic duty experience together.
All BARR students who come to vote will be entered into a raffle to win a Dave and Buster's prize pack!

Welcome to A. MacArthur Barr
Greetings to our Barr families,
Welcome to the 2024 - 2025 school year at A. MacArthur Barr Middle School! We are so proud to say our students are surrounded by passionate educators who prioritize safety, communication, collaboration, inclusivity and student-centered learning. At Barr, we understand the importance of our students being supported while accessing a high quality education and developing skills for emotional intelligence and leadership. Each child is unique and we value their contribution to our school community. We are committed to building relationships and providing a quality education through engaging, relevant and rigorous learning opportunities. Our professional learning, planning and instruction is rooted deeply in the district's mission statement, which is to prepare and inspire students to apply their learning in a changing, complex and interdependent world. Our school has undergone many changes since the original one room school house was built in 1806. One thing which has not changed is our strong sense of community and our dedication to the individual learning journey of each student. We truly value our families and the community as our collaborative thinking partners. The 2024-2025 year is going to be an incredible learning journey filled with so many memorable moments!
If you have questions, need assistance with anything, or have suggestions for how we can continue to grow as a school community, please reach out to the Main Office at 845 627-4040.
Warm regards,
Michelle O'Sullivan, Principal
