Principal's Message
Dear Parents and Community Members,
I am very honored and excited about another exciting year as the leader at Barksdale Elementary and working with our family of Buccaneers! My goal is to continue to hold our students to high standards of success and expectations while building strong partnerships with our families and the community.
Throughout the school year, there will be many opportunities for you to come work and play with your child at school. Please visit our website, review your child’s communication folder, monitor your child’s Class Dojo account, and listen out for phone messages for upcoming events and activities.
I look forward to working with you to continue the great things we have going at Barksdale!
Warmest regards,
Dr. Jill Murphy
