Dear Families of Carl Sandburg Middle School,  

On behalf of the fine group of professionals at Carl Sandburg Middle School, I am thrilled to welcome you to the 2017-18 school year. We are pleased to have our returning 8th graders and a new, energetic group of 7th graders. Our goal is to ensure that our students have an outstanding middle school experience, taking full advantage of the curricular and extra-curricular opportunities offered at Sandburg. Additionally, it is our mission to support all students through the many transitions that occur in middle school.

 I enter my first year as the proud principal of Carl Sandburg Middle School, with a great deal of optimism. I know that Sandburg is a special place, with a rich tradition, dynamic students, dedicated staff, and supportive families. The educators at Sandburg collaborate to provide a positive and productive school culture, with a keen focus on high quality teaching and learning. I look forward to engaging with you, as the year progresses. Let’s work together and have a fabulous school year!

 

Sincerely,

 Darwin R. Barker, Principal
