My name is Kelsey Becker, and this is my first year as principal of James Lewis Elementary and my 15th year in education. Last year I was an assistant principal at Cordell-Mason Elementary and prior to that an assistant principal at James Walker Elementary. I am excited this year to be part of the great community and traditions of James Lewis Elementary School. I love meeting new people and I am so excited to get to know each and every kid and family. Please do not hesitate to reach out my email is kbecker@bssd.net or call the school office at 816-874-3650.

Students who have completed and received approval for residency verification by 5:00 PM on August 7 will be able to view their teacher assignment in the Parent Portal beginning:
