Welcome to the 23-24 school year at Kirkwood Middle School! I would like to introduce myself and explain some important information. My name is Julie Barrow, and I will be your child’s ELA teacher this year. My husband, Jonathan, and I have 2 children, Hadley who is a 8th grader here are Kirkwood Middle, and NoraLee who is a 2nd Grader at Rossview Elementary. I received my bachelor’s degree from Murray State University and master’s degree in Reading from Walden University. This will be my 17th year of teaching. I have a love for reading, and I know your child will love reading too after this school year!

I am very excited to have the opportunity to teach and get to know your child. I am a strong believer in the importance of an effective home-school relationship. I hope that you will help me in keeping the lines of communication between us open. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call or email.
