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!
