Barrett Campus Collaborative
Barrett Elementary School895 Barrett Avenue
Morgan Hill, CA 95037
Our VisionThe vision for our campus collaborative has been to provide
students, staff, and families with an inviting learning environment, to help increase academic success, and to
provide social and life skills.
Academic success for our students depends on their dedication and hard work to their academics, academic
success falls on students, families, teachers, and the larger communities.
As a campus collaborative we want to provide students, families, school staff and the community with all available
resources by partnering with local agencies and organizations.

Building Relationships
Building strong relationships is key to a successful campus collaborative.
Ways to build strong relationships are:• Being respectful of everyone’s time• Share responsibilities, goals, outcomes• Show that you care about their ideas and needs• Understanding their “Why”, and how it fits into the goals of the
campus collaborative.
Morgan Hill Library The library has tabled at Back to School nights and Open Houses over the past couple of years. At each of these events the library staff interact with an average of 70-80 attendees, making library cards, answering general library related questions, and sharing library resources like Brainfuse, databases, booklists and programming.
The library has hosted the Barrett School night at the library for the past two years. There were 95 attendees this year and 15 new library cards were made.
“With the new library accounts and checkouts at the Barrett school night events, there has definitely been an increase in library use by Barrett families. I do see
families I recognize from Barrett events using the library on a regular basis.”- Saralyn Otter - Morgan Hill Librarian
Morgan Hill Police Department Rep./Barrett Parent
“As a Barrett Parent, our Campus Collaborative has not only
brought resources and information to our school as a whole but
has gone beyond that to connect with the students and staff so
they know what support they have around them.
An example of this is the SCC Public Health Department
providing nutrition instruction and healthy eating experiences to
various grades and school groups teaching students (and staff
too) about the many aspects of nutrition and healthy eating and
what that means in their day-to-day lives and then reinforcing
their instruction and commitment by participating in many of
the school’s activities.” - Lisa Cardenas
Morgan Hill Police Department“As a Barrett Campus Collaborative Partner, the Morgan Hill Police
Department has the opportunity to share ideas and work with partners (some
of whom we work with on a regular basis but in a different capacity) that have
a common goal of bettering the lives of those that live in the community they
serve. Each partner member brings their own specific knowledge and
resources to the collaborative group but what is unique to Barrett is how
well our partner members work with each other, genuinely enjoy being part
of the collaborative group and together bringing their resources to Barrett
along with being a recognized part of Barrett Elementary. By being a regular
participant in the collaborative, our Officers are invited to many of Barrett’s
events during the school day and the family events in the evenings and are
happily greeted by students, staff and families. The Officers frequently
comment on how friendly and welcoming Barrett students, staff and
families are and they appreciate the positive connection the Campus
Collaborative has provided them with the Barrett Elementary Family.”
- Lisa Cardenas
Morgan Hill P.D at Our Barrett Run
PEI Providers
Rebekah Children’s Services and Community Solutions have provided many services to the Barrett families. These services include:
• Individual Counseling• Social Skills groups• Triple P classes• Skills Streaming classes
Combined they have completed 16 skills streaming classes and 2 small social skills groups to our Barrett Students since last school year.
Public Health Department
Public Health Department• Last school year staff presented to 208 Barrett students a 5-class
series• During the school year last year the students learned lessons from
PowerPlay which is a USDA Food and Nutrition Services curriculum• During the summer at the YMCA, 31 students received a different
8-class series that incorporated gardening with curriculum from The Garden Detective, a USDA Food and Nutrition Services curriculum
• This school year we are teaching 452 (the entire school) students each month for the entire school year
• This school year the students are receiving grade specific, common core aligned nutrition education from the Dairy Council
Finding Resources
Steps to finding great resources are as follows:• Figure out what types of resources/providers are needed at your
school site.• Locate local community providers/resources to contact.• Ask each provider what types of resources they can offer at no cost to
your school site.• Bring those that fit your needs on to your campus collaborative team.
What We have Accomplished • Developed a cohesive organization for our whole community
which has brought the Home and School Club and ELAC committee together
• Shared responsibility among adults and students for school wide activities
• Counseling Services- Ongoing work with social skills classes for our Barrett students/Individual Counseling services.
• Nutrition Education- Ongoing work with nutrition education in the classroom and with Parents
• Barrett students see adults as friends and mentors that work together
Commitment
How do you get providers to commit to your campus collaborative?• Find out what drives their organization (The why?), and incorporate
that into your collaborative. (Parent workshops,outreach,etc..)• Make the partnership a two-way street (Make sure that your school
site gets what they need, but also what the provider needs as well.)• Acknowledge all of their hard work year round, and remind them how
much you appreciate it.
Principal Mary Alice CallahanThe campus collaborative is my favorite meeting each month. It is so great to gather with a group of dedicated and generous people who all want to imagine how to make fun events happen for children and families at our school. We host wide-ranging opportunities where there is something for everyone. The school truly belongs to the families and they are all so happy to be here. We have 50 to 100 people (or more) at our events. It has empowered the students to see school as a place where they learn and have fun. Their families are welcome and students have developed real connections to their teachers, their peers and their families through these wonderful opportunities.
Thank you!!!
