Tons of News coming to you from PTSA!!!
We have a lot of information to bring to you to better ensure success for our students, our school and the PTSA program.
August 19th at 7pm is our OPEN HOUSE. At this meeting we will have a very brief PTSA meeting to present our budget for approval. Following our meeting the parents will be dismissed to their childs classroom. There will be a lot of congestion in the hallways with students and parents so please be respectful of one another. During this time, you will be living the life of your student and will be able to see what daily life is like in the hallways at Barber Middle School.
A special thanks to Mrs. Williams and the Cobb County School District for allotting us 2.5 more teachers here at BMS to help relieve the overcrowded classrooms! Please see the BMS website for Mrs. Williams message to our parents and students regarding this change.

Magnet Program: Do you have a child in a highschool magnet program that needs to accrue community volunteer hours? We can help! Hours volunteered with Barber PTSA count towards the required hours. What better way to earn hours-a safe and controlled environment with trusted people you already know. The PTSA Presidents will sign off on papers after assignment has been completed. So far we have had 3 young ladies already meeting their requirements thru Barber PTSA. please contact us at bmsptsa@gmail.com if you have questions.
Thank you again for all your trust and support. We strive to do our best so that your child is able to do their best.
