BARR

The BARR (Building Assets, Reducing Risk) Model allows staff to better understand and build on students’ strengths, proactively address the non-academic reasons why a student may be falling behind in school and identify what resources they need and steps they can take to thrive.  All Moreno Valley Unified School District's 9th graders who enroll at Canyon Springs, Moreno Valley, Vista del Lago, or Valley View High School automatically participate in the BARR Model.
