Personal Message:

My vision for Bardmoor Elementary is 100% student success. My mission for Bardmoor is to educate and prepare each student for further education, career and life. It is important for our students to not just be ready for middle school when they leave Bardmoor, but to also be lifelong learners prepared to take on high school, college and careers. Working together as a school, parents and community, we will have successful students!
