Principal's Message

Dear Barker Elementary Community,

Welcome to a brand-new school year!

As we begin this exciting journey together, I am honored to join the Barker Elementary family as your new principal. While this year brings new opportunities and new beginnings, one thing remains constant—our commitment to providing every child with a safe, supportive, and engaging learning environment.

At Barker Elementary, we believe that strong schools are built on strong partnerships between students, families, and staff. Together, we will create a community where every child feels valued, connected, challenged, and inspired to reach their full potential.

Just as lions thrive as part of a pride, our students thrive when they feel a sense of belonging and support. This year, we will encourage our Barker Lions to:

 ⭐ Lead with Courage
 ⭐ Learn with Purpose
 ⭐ Show Kindness
 ⭐ Work Together
 ⭐ Strive for Excellence
 ⭐ Find Joy in Learning

We are excited to partner with you as we help our students grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Your involvement, encouragement, and support make a tremendous difference in your child’s success.

Thank you for trusting us with your children and for being an important part of the Barker Elementary community.

I am excited and looking forward to meeting you, celebrating your children, and making this an amazing year together.

Here’s to a wonderful year ahead! Together We Lead, Learn, and Roar!

With Lion Pride,

Tiann Parker
Principal, Barker Elementary School

One Team • One Purpose • One Pride

Our School

Welcome Barker Lions!

This school year, Barker's PTA will be ready to take action as they plan exciting activities for students and families. Our parents and staff meet once a month to collaborate on discussions regarding ways to make the year fun and academically enriching for students. For meeting dates and event information, please look under our "PTA" tab.

Our after school programs will commence and boost scholarly involvement. Our programs are:

• We have the Academic Chess Program, where students explore the bare bones of strategy via chess competitions with classmates. We reinforce the power of critical thinking, while making it engaging with a fun game!
• Our Mad Science Program meets after school to provide students with an opportunity to learn scientific study methods and engage in hands-on experiments.
• After-school soccer promotes an active lifestyle for students. We value overall wellness and promote physical activity, fitness, and healthy eating.

Barker prides itself on celebrating the success of our students with monthly awards. We appreciate seeing students fulfilling the character traits of the month. These awards are meant to encourage scholars to develop civic mindsets not just in the classroom, but throughout their whole life. We also have the Quarterly Report Card Honor Roll Assembly to recognize students for their achievements in the quarter. We encourage families to come to these assemblies and celebrate their scholar's good grades.  Barker Elementary School fosters college and career readiness skills.  Our teachers and staff equip students with the academic and personal skills needed for lifelong success.

We look forward to having a marvelous and memorable school year! If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please visit our office.
