Parking
During evening events, you may park in the staff parking lot, as well as in the church lot next to Barksdale.
Will you be visiting the Barksdale campus?
Just as a reminder, all visitors are required by PISD to present a government issued picture identification (no photocopies or electronic images) upon entry to the campus and receive a temporary visitor badge. PISD utilizes a national database to ascertain if the visitor can be cleared for entry.
Lunches and Forgotten Items
All lunches and forgotten items can be placed in the bins just outside the office. It is the student's responsibility to retrieve these items.
The student can ask the teacher to check the bin if he/she has forgotten something.
Triathlon News

Science Fair - 2nd Triathlon Event
It is time once again to prepare for the Elementary Science and Engineering Fair. Though participation in this annual event is voluntary, we want to encourage interested students to take advantage of this opportunity to exhibit their knowledge. This event is the second part of the Triathlon.
If your child would like to participate, please complete the attached form and return it to your child’s homeroom teacher. Once you submit that form, a handbook will be sent home with further instructions about the rules and judging of projects.
The Barksdale Science and Engineering Fair will be held January 18, 2018. All projects will be due January 17, 2018.
