AP EXAMS
Online Registration & Payment Process
We are using “mySchoolBucks” for you to register and pay for your child’s AP exams via credit card or by
check (also known as an e-check). This is the same system used for making online payments to your
child’s lunch account.
If you do not have a “mySchoolBucks” account you will need to create one using your child’s Local Identifier (LASID) to set up the account. The LASID can be found in your Aspen X2 account - when logged into
Aspen X2 click on Family, then on Detail. This number is typically between 4 and 8 digits long.
Once you have your child’s LASID, create your account on “mySchoolBucks”.
To register and pay:
Log into “mySchoolBucks”

“Heads Up !” There are phony college scholarship services…….
Recently, the Federal Trade Commission found a number of Web sites with
deceptive practices. Companies posing as scholarship search or financial-aid
foundations charge from about $25 to provide lists of scholarships, to more than
$800 to guarantee eligibility for a minimum amount of financial aid. These
promises of guarantees are not possible. To identify false claims, consult the
following web site: www.ftc.gov/scholarshipscams Beware of services that do
“all the work”. Don’t give out credit card or bank account information to “hold a
scholarship.”

On behalf of the Barrington High
School Parents Association we would
like the thank everyone who attended
and supported the 2015 Winter Food
Truck Fest on January 16th.
It was terrific to have hundreds of community members gathered on a cold
winter night in support of this event.
The evening featured four local food trucks, activities run by student
organizations, a bake sale, two raffles and three basketball
games. Proceeds benefit participating student organizations, including Barrington After Prom.
Thank you to our many volunteers, especially the following for their extra
effort and support: Tracy Orchard and Amy Skadberg for organization of
the bake sale, Bindu Mallick, Lisa Mc Gartoll and Suzette Stephens for organizing and coordinating student organization participation, Mr.West's
Sports Marketing class for help with the raffle/shot contest, and Mr. Hurley,
George Finn and the Barrington Boosters Club for their support.
The combined efforts of many resulted in a great community celebration
that we hope to make an annual event.
Sincerely,
Lee Ann McQueary

Dear Parents:
Outlined below is Barrington's Early Dismissal/School Closing Emergency Plan. This plan will be put into effect
should schools need to be dismissed early or closed due to the onset of a serious storm.
EARLY DISMISSAL/SCHOOL CLOSING EMERGENCY PLAN
In the event that a situation arises when students must be dismissed during the course of the day and schools
closed, the following plan will be put into effect:
1. The decision will be made by the Superintendent of Schools or his designee at least one hour before the
action is taken. He will make this decision after checking with 1) the Fire and/or Police Chief; 2) the
Director of Public Works; 3) the Transportation Company; 4) the RI Department of Education Statewide
Transportation for Special Education; 5) the RI Federal Emergency Management Agency; and 6) the
National Weather Service.
2. After the decision to dismiss is made, the Superintendent and members of the Central Office staff will notify
the principal of each school building of the early dismissal time or closure and post information on the
district website.
3. Notification - The Superintendent will utilize the RI Broadcasters Association of the early dismissal time/
cancellation, which distributes communication to all local media.
4. Walkers – Middle School and High School – will be dismissed by the building principal at the announced
early dismissal time. Elementary student walkers will be dismissed when accompanied by a parent/guardian.
5. Parents can be notified of school closings with an email or text message sent to a mobile device by
registering with the RI Broadcasters Association, using the following link:
http://my.textcaster.com/asa/Default.aspx?ID=6d6b22e1-242f-46b3-ae4f-e01582e9a14c
“Barrington Public Schools does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, gender, age,
religion or sexual orientation in admission to, access to, treatment in, or employment in its services, programs, and activities"
Page 19
-2-
6.
Through a joint effort between Barrington Public Schools and the Town of Barrington, CodeRED
Emergency Communications Network provides notification to families in case of an emergency.
For school related messages, CodeRED will be using phone numbers periodically updated from the
student information system.
7.
Schools will be dismissed in the following order:
A. Barrington High School
B. Barrington Middle School
C. K-3 Elementary Schools
D. Hampden Meadows School
8.
Parents should make arrangements for an alternate destination for their children in the event of an
early dismissal. In the event of early dismissal, a serious problem could be created for the child who
is dismissed from school and has no other destination after arriving at an empty or locked home.
9.
In the event of a serious storm warning that has had widespread announcement, parents who choose
to should feel free to pick up their children as early as possible.
Please take some time to discuss the possibility of an early dismissal with your children and the alternative
arrangements they should follow.
Sincerely,
Michael B. Messore, III
Superintendent
