Barton Pond Elementary School

😎 School’s out for summer! Congratulations on a successful year, Bullfrogs, and an extra big congrats to our rising 6th graders. We are so proud of you and will miss you next year! 💙🐸💙

As we wind down the school year, the Bullfrog Bistro was back for staff to celebrate a successful year 4 at The Pond!

Each year we have seen strong student growth with impressive increases in student proficiency levels. We are so very proud of our Barton Pond, staff, students, and families! 🎉🐸🎉

That’s our Mr. Clay! Good luck in the national competition!! 🎉 🐸 🚌

We still have a few more weeks of the 25-26 school year to go, but we were super excited to welcome our incoming Kindergarten families tonight! 💙🐸💙

This evening’s Teacher of the Year banquet gave us one more opportunity to celebrate Mrs. Howard for her recognition as a WCPSS Finalist for Teacher of the Year. Mrs. Howard truly embodies this year’s theme of “excellence in bloom” as she lovingly supports the growth of her students and our school community. We are so proud of you, Mrs. Howard!! 💐

Tonight the School Board celebrated two amazing Barton Pond educators —

🌟Nicole Simpson, WCPSS School Counselor of the Year

🌟Theresa Howard, Finalist for WCPSS Teacher of the Year.

Our community is so incredibly fortunate to have these women leading and loving our students! 💙🐸💙

💕 Girls on The Run 2026 💕 We are proud of you all for your hard work and perseverance! 🐸🐝🐸

✨ Love a good party at The Pond! A beautiful, fun-filled night to celebrate a successful year! ✨ -a-Palooza

🎶🐸🎶 Thank you to and for the opportunity for our bullfrogs to enjoy today!

We are thrilled to have our very own Nicole Simpson named as the 2026 WCPSS School Counselor of the year! Her vision, hard work, and dedication have been paramount in building our culture of love and support at Barton Pond. We are so proud of you, Mrs. Simpson, and so thankful for all you do for our community!! 🎉❤️🎉
