Principal's Message

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year!  I am honored to serve as the principal of Linda Vista Elementary School.  This is a wonderful school and community.  This is going to be a fabulous year!

I began my educational journey twenty-three years ago as an elementary school teacher.  Later, I taught middle school.  I have also served as a middle and high school administrator.  Last year, I completed an assignment as an interim principal at an elementary school.  It was during this assignment that I rediscovered my passion for working with elementary school students and desire to return to an elementary school. 

At Linda Vista, we believe that all students deserve a high-quality education in a safe and supportive environment.  We believed in fostering a love for learning that goes beyond that classroom.  We encourage curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking skills that will serve our students well in their future endeavors.

Parents and guardians, we look forward to working together as a team.  Your partnership is invaluable to us.  We encourage you to actively participate in your child’s education by attending school events, volunteering, and staying connected with our school.  Together, we can create a supportive community that enhances the overall educational experience for our students.  

Sincerely,
Jacqueline Barry, Ed.D.
