Summer may be winding down, but there’s still plenty of time to enjoy the pool. Here’s what to know as we head into the final weeks of the season.

End the season with a splash

Monday, Sept. 7 | The pool

We’ll close out the season on Labor Day with one final day of fun. Stop by for popsicles from 5-7 p.m., followed by a group cannonball at 6:45 p.m.

A sweet start to the school year

We kicked off the new school year with a little Barefoot fun! From hands-on activities and ice cream at our Back to School Bash to doughnuts and morning smiles at The Cove, it was a sweet way to celebrate our young learners and send them off into a new school year.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, shared a smile, and helped make these events such a fun part of the season. We’re wishing all of our students, families, and educators a wonderful year ahead!

Covenant corner

As we continue covenant enforcement efforts through late summer, please be aware that regular community inspections will continue. Inspections include landscaping, property maintenance, vehicle parking, storage, and vehicle repair in addition to other CC&R items.

Your road map

Your CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions) are here to help answer common questions. Visit the district’s website to find all of Barefoot’s governing documents, including the CC&Rs, under Governance > Covenants.

Before you start a project

If you're ready to start a new project to the exterior of your home, please gather all the details and submit for design review approval first.
