Dr. Carpenter's Welcome Message to the Barton Chapel Elementary School Community!!! 

Welcome Back to 2020 - 2021 School Year

August, 2020

Welcome to the 2020-2021 School Year!

Welcome to the 2020-2021 School Year to each family who has chosen Barton Chapel Elementary for this upcoming school year. It is my absolute pleasure to serve as your school leader during what is shaping up to be a very challenging time in our global community. Please know that the Barton Chapel team is a very committed and dedicated staff that is centered around the best interest of every single student in our Barton Chapel family.

As we prepare to begin school, we are involving ourselves in very strategic and serious professional learning opportunities that will equip us with the best teaching and learning strategies for our scholars’ success. Regardless if your child will enter the school building for learning, or will participate in learning activities online, it is our hope that your child will receive the very best educational experience during this upcoming school year. Each member of the Barton Chapel team is looking forward to the day when it is safe for every member of our staff and student community to enter the school building to teach and learn; but until that day arrives, we are dedicated to giving our best efforts to each child, regardless if it is face-to-face, or online.

During such uncertain times, it is imperative that we provide clarity of information via our communication efforts. Furthermore, we believe in engaged communication and will ensure that our community receives daily and weekly updates as new decisions, practices, and expectations are determined that will help our students’ success. Please offer feedback for improvement and do not hesitate to ask questions if information is unclear.

Again, welcome to a new school year!

Sincerely,

LaQuanda Carpenter, Ed.D.
