We invite ALL parents to join the Barksdale PTA this year. The #1 reason for joining the PTA is to support your school and your student. Partnerships between parents, educators and children enhance children’s success. We know that children learn more and have better lives when everyone in the school community works together to share thoughts and information and work on projects to benefit children.
By becoming a member of the Barksdale PTA, you can become an important part of helping to ensure that these plans become a reality. We also welcome your new ideas for the benefit of our children.
We would like for all parents to join to achieve our goal of 100% participation and thank you to all who have already become PTA members.
Lifetime Member Nomination
Each year, Barksdale has the opportunity to award a few individuals with the Life Time PTA Membership Award. This is our opportunity to return our thanks to our own for their dedication to our school and our students. We would love to have your input. If there is a faculty member, staff member, or parent who you always observe going above and beyond to support our school, and students, please let us know. Once we receive all submissions, our Committee will review them and select two winners. Thank you in advance for your submissions. Click Here for the nomination form!
