We are a military family. How can we be sure our needs will be met?
As the closest elementary school to Ft. Campbell, Barkers Mill has a large military population. In fact, over half of our students are military dependents. Teachers have been trained on military life and factors that may make deployment and reintegration stressful for children and families. School counselors are available to meet with students who have social, emotional, behavioral, or academic difficulty during these times, and the school has a Military Family Life Consultant who can provide resources to military dependent families who need additional support.

For more information, please see Focus Video: CMCSS Support Military Dependents.
