Dear Mansfield Families,
It is with great joy and excitement that I welcome you to the 2025–2026 school year at Mansfield Elementary! As I begin my second year as principal, I am more grateful than ever to be part of this amazing school community. Our theme this year, “Hustle and Heart- Set Us Apart,” perfectly captures the spirit of our students, staff, and families—and sets the tone for an incredible year ahead.
Mansfield is truly a special place. We are fortunate to have a team of dedicated, passionate educators who work tirelessly to support every child’s growth and success. My goal remains the same: to ensure that every student has access to high-quality learning opportunities, feels valued, and knows they belong.
As always, strong relationships with students, families, and the community are at the heart of all we do. Your partnership plays a vital role in helping us create a positive, nurturing school environment where every child can thrive.
We’ve already mapped out a year full of meaningful events and celebrations that bring our school community together. A few we’re especially excited about include our Fall Festival on October 30, our Veteran’s Day Assembly on November 11, and our always-popular Book Character Parade on November 21 at 9:30 AM. We hope to see you there!
Thank you for your continued support of Mansfield Elementary. I’m excited to build on the momentum we created last year and to see what we can accomplish together this year. Dr. Barr and I are here to support you and your child every step of the way.
Let’s make it a great year—full of hustle, heart, and Hornet pride!
Warmly,
Kelly Walker
Principal
