Welcome To Barton

We welcome the new Special Education and Support Services team members joining Barton this fall.

B.J. Christofferson is our new Special Education Assistant (SEA) for the Unite classroom.  She is also an artist and lives in the neighborhood.   B.J.'s grandson, Tyler, is a fourth grader here at Barton.

Donna Beery is a new Education Assistant working with Kate’s kindergarten class and at the playground during recess.  She worked previously at Kenwood school.  She turned her T.V. off years ago and enjoys reading and cross stitching. 

Lea Anne Schmidt is a new Speech teacher, splitting her time between Barton and Windom Open School.  She has worked in Minneapolis schools before, but has most recently lived in England and Dallas.  She is glad to be back home in Minnesota and at Barton. 

Chanda Teleen is our new school Psychologist.  She is looking forward to meeting the needs of students creatively.
