Visiting Barton

To Prospective Parents:

You are welcome to visit Barton Open School at any time.  Our school day starts at 7:30 AM.  Students are dismissed at 1:45 PM.  Morning kindergarten is scheduled from 7:30 to 10:15 AM.  The afternoon kindergarten session runs from 11:00 AM to 1:45 PM. 

There are parent-led tours arranged for you starting in November.  If our school tour times don’t fit your schedule, come when you can.  If you visit outside the tour times, please check in through the main office.  We will give you a name tag and a map of the school.  You are welcome to visit as many classrooms and grade levels as you want.  The advantage of the tour is that you will have time to ask questions.  If you visit on your own, you are always welcome to call the principal after your visit if you have unanswered questions about the open school program.

Our 2006-2007 school tour schedule is as follows:

  • Thursday, November 2 (8:30 AM)
  • Wednesday, November 8 (8:30 AM)
  • Thursday, November 9 (8:30 AM)
  • Tuesday, November 14 (8:30 AM)
  • Thursday, November 16 (8:30 AM)
  • Wednesday, November 29 (8:30 AM)
  • Thursday, November 30 (8:30 AM)
  • Tuesday, December 5 (8:30 AM)
  • Thursday, December 7 (8:30 AM)
  • Tuesday, December 12 (8:30 AM)
  • Thursday, December 14 (8:30 AM)
  • Tuesday, January 9 (8:30 AM)
  • Thursday, January 11 (8:30 AM)

You are encouraged to contact the school at 612-668-3580 to let us know what day you would like to visit and/or what day you would like to join a school tour. If there are any schedule changes that could influence your visitation, we would let you know at that time.

The District Wide K-12 School Information Fair is scheduled for Saturday, November 18, at the Hyatt Regency downtown Minneapolis.  The school fair runs from 9 AM to 2 PM.

School Request Cards for the 2007-2008 school year are due on January 15, 2007.  The cards are available at any Minneapolis School and should be mailed directly to the district’s Student Placement Center.
