Dear Ysabel Barnett Families,

It is with great pride and excitement that I write this letter of introduction to you as the Principal of Ysabel Barnett Elementary School.  I am honored to have the opportunity to lead a school with such a rich tradition of quality instruction!  I have been dedicated to the field of education for nearly twenty years.  Some of my educational experiences include: classroom teacher, instructional coach, elementary and high school assistant principal. 

I am incredibly blessed to be a part of the excellent team of educational leaders at BES, and am looking forward to working with you as an instructional partner to ensure student success.  My goal is to learn and come alongside the dedicated work of our teachers and staff as they continue the forward momentum supporting all students as they achieve their personal best each year academically, socially and emotionally.

As your Principal, it is important to me that everyone who steps through our doors- teachers, staff, students and parents -are excited to be here!  This attitude enables us to meet the challenges of academic excellence in a positive, fun, and nurturing environment.   Along with the teachers and staff, I will work hard to continue the legacy of success established by BES by building strong relationships with parents, students and community partners.  

I look forward to working with you, our Pioneer family, as a team to help each student at Barnett meet their goals and have a successful school year!  My door is always open and I welcome your feedback. 

Warm Regards,

Mrs. Blackburn
