• PARENT'S NIGHT OUT! - DECEMBER 8TH

  Do you need some time without your children so you can shop for the holidays, run
  a few errands, enjoy a nice dinner out, or just spend some quiet time at home?
  Then we have something for you!  Our certified Grade 8 Babysitters will be on-site to watch your Nanuet school aged children (ages 5 and older) and keep them engaged with a variety of fun activities.  Thanks to RoseAnn Mercado and our Nanuet Family Resource Center, our Grade 8 students had an opportunity to take a free course designed to train them on becoming babysitters, right here at A. MacArthur Barr Middle School. These students learned very important babysitting skills such as physical care, age appropriate play, connecting and communicating with young children, and basic first aid. Our new “graduates” of this program are excited to apply all they have learned while also raising money for their Grade 8 Trips!

  Place:              A. MacArthur Barr Middle School
  Time:              6:30 PM - 8:30 PM

• News from the Nurse

  In the event your child shows signs and symptoms of illness, we ask that you keep them home and notify our attendance secretary, Daniella Ng, at 627-4420 to report the absence. 

  If your child or a family member tests positive for COVID, please contact our School Nurse Giovanna Conklin, R.N, directly at 627-4041. 

  As a reminder, students will be marked unexcused late to class unless the reason for their late arrival is directly due to a bus arriving late or another unavoidable scenario such as documented appointment, weather, or traffic issue outside of our drop-off line.  Students arriving late to school must report to the attendance office for a pass before heading to class. 

  The following procedures are in place at this time:

  • Unexcused lateness will result in consequences as follows:
    • First late: verbal reminder from attendance office
    • Second late: verbal reminder and phone call to parent from attendance office*
    • Third late:  letter sent home and after school detention
    • Cycle begins again but phone call from AP* or principal*

  • If a child is not present in school, they will be marked absent. Please call the attendance secretary, Daniella Ng, at 627-4420 to inform her of the absence. If your child is absent due to a vetted COVID-related situation, a daily call is not necessary. 
  • Students missing class can keep up with their coursework by visiting Schoology and contacting each teacher individual for course-specific information.
