Dear Blacksburg Wildcat Community,

It is with great excitement that I introduce myself as the new principal of Blacksburg Elementary School. I am honored to join this school community and partner with you in continuing the tradition of excellence that defines our school.

At Blacksburg Elementary, we believe that every child is capable of extraordinary growth when nurtured in a safe, caring, and engaging environment. My goal is to support a school culture where students feel valued, empowered, and inspired to be their best selves—academically, socially, and emotionally.

I am committed to fostering a learning environment where curiosity is encouraged, diversity is celebrated, and every student has the opportunity to thrive. I look forward to working closely with our dedicated staff, supportive families, and, most importantly, our amazing students.

As we begin this new chapter together, open communication and collaboration will be key to our success. I encourage you to stay connected, get involved, and share your thoughts. My door is always open, and I truly value your input and partnership.

Thank you for the warm welcome to the Wildcat family. I am excited about the journey ahead and all that we will accomplish together.

Tammy M. Parsons

Principal

Blacksburg Elementary School
