Barber Bulletin
As a Leader in Me school, we encourage students to "Sharpen the Saw" and find balance in their life, especially between school and extracurricular activities! It is important to our school that we celebrate your student for the accomplishments he/she may receive outside of school. Please help us by sharing these exciting accomplishments so we can include your child on our Pontiac News Show. Please contact our principal, Dr. Katie Barber at kbarber@richland2.org or contact Julie Whitney, our school guidance counselor at 699.2700 to share the good news about your child!

Lobby Guard Sign In
Parents, thank you for helping to make our morning sign-in procedures such a success! We appreciate your patience and smiles as we implement our new Lobby Guard procedures. It is our hope that by offering two areas in the school (the front lobby and the kindergarten hallway),to sign-in through the Lobby Guard system will make mornings a little easier for our parents who wish to walk their child to class. Please remember to have your driver's license ready, as this will make the process more efficient.
Kindergarten hallway doors will be locked at 8:10
Our School Day
All children arriving after 8:10 am will need to be escorted by their parents into the front lobby.( The Kindergarten hallway doors will be locked) Parents will be asked to sign their child in through the Lobby Guard system so that a tardy pass may be issued. We appreciate your support with this!
When your child is absent, please remember to send an excuse the next day your child returns to school. If you need to have an excuse faxed to us by a medical provider, the number is 803 699-2704.
If you need to sign your child out early, please be here by 2:15 pm. You will need your drivers license to access the Lobby Guard. When you are having someone other than a parent pick a child up, please send a note to your child's teacher.
We appreciate your understanding that we have these practices to insure the safety of your child.
Thank You
