Striving to ensure that Barrie School is an inclusive environment for all learners.
Student Support Team
Barrie School’s Student Support Team partners with teachers and parents to provide the learning and social-emotional supports needed for students to achieve success.
The team provides direct support to students as well as consultative support to parents, faculty, and staff. For students who qualify, Accommodation and Care Plans are developed and implemented, so all our students can meet their highest aspirations, regardless of personal learning style.
The team also coordinates and consults with outside professionals who work with Barrie School students, including tutors, mental health professionals, pediatricians, occupational and speech therapists, and other service providers.
Conversations That Count
Barrie’s Middle & Upper School hosts an annual “Conversations that Count” event for families and sometimes students.
On Tuesday February 27, 2024, we welcomed clinical psychologist Dr. Linda McGhee to campus. Dr. McGhee spoke to parents and guardians about the mental & emotional challenges faced by Black youth, as well as the ways in which self-care and community can help promote wellness. [this is the session that Joy videotaped]
On February 28, families attended a Zoom session featuring speaker Sarah Clarke, a Clinical Mental Health Counselor who has worked with families for 15 years. She shared insights and practical strategies for helping families navigate trauma and integrate nurturing, holistic wellness practices into their daily lives.
Genius is 10% inspiration, 90% perspiration.
