Students at George O. Barr have been enjoying Fun Friday rewards! Those who are meeting our schoolwide expectations of be respectful, be responsible, and be ready are earning these fun times. First grade students earned a movie and popcorn! Way to go GOB students!


We would greatly appreciate your feedback on the 5 Essentials Parent Survey. The results from this survey help us to determine areas where we are successful and areas we need to improve. Thank you for taking a few minutes to complete the survey.

Good evening families. Please remember that tomorrow, February 15th, George O. Barr dismisses at 1:50 and Northeast dismisses at 2:30. Parent-teacher conferences are 4:00-7:00. Thank you and have a nice evening.

It was a magical day at George O. Barr. Students have been working on following directions the first time. To celebrate this goal, they watched a magician with tons of fun tricks! Thanks to the PBIS team for planning this and to our students who worked hard in this area!





Mrs. Rossmiller's class had a blast during our arctic cold temperatures. They stepped outside to see if bubbles would freeze. Science is fun!








Congratulations to Mrs. Rossmiller's January students of the month. Our theme was Honor You, Honor Me (respect). Way to go students!


Please remember that car drop-off is in the back of the building. You need to enter the alley off of 14th Street. Bus drop-off is in the front of the building. Please follow this procedure to keep our students safe and our bus routes running on time for the junior high routes.

Good morning Northeast families. Our orange route is behind schedule. The other buses will be out to get your students if they are still at their bus stops. Thank you for your patience.

Northeast parents- the green bus route is very behind. The roads are slick and we will do our best to get to your students stop.

Perfect attendance as a preschool student- way to go!!!


Here are a few of our George O. Barr students who had perfect attendance during 2nd quarter. Congrats students!




Good evening,
School is cancelled in the Silvis School District on Tuesday, January 9th. Stay safe.

Good morning,
There is a water main break so there is no water or ability to flush toilets at Northeast Junior High School. We are sorry for the inconvenience but we need parents to pick up their students (NEJH STUDENTS ONLY) as soon as you are able. Please park in the parking lot, come into NEJH and sign out your student. If you are not able to pick up your child, please call the school to make arrangements. GOB will remain in session through the end of the day.
Dr. VandeWiele

Good afternoon,
We hope that all of our Silvis School District families had a wonderful holiday break. As a reminder, school resumes tomorrow.
Have a wonderful evening and we will see you in the morning.
Dr. VandeWiele

Students at George O. Barr celebrated being responsible, respectful, and ready. Staff helped run various games. We appreciate our UTHS volunteers who assisted in the fun. Happy Holidays to our Silvis families!
