Welcome to Parkside-
My name is Claudia Barrera and I am the Parent and Family Liaison here at Parkside. I was born in San Francisco Ca. I am Colombian and Mexican. I attended Ygnacio Valley High School in Concord, and graduated in 1992. I received my AA from Eastern Gateway in Ohio in 2022. I have been married since 1997 and have 3 children. Adan Guadalupe 26 (graduated from Portland State University, Bachlors in Biology w/ Minor in Chemistry); Alina Alicia 24 (Graduated from San Francisco State University); and Aleksys Leanna 22 (graduated from DePaul University in Chicago). Both my daughters attended Parkside Elementary, and Alina is a substitute in the district.
I have been active in the community. I was the Vice President of the softball division at JOBL (Junior Optimus Baseball Leaugue) I have volunteered at many different non-profits, and was on the Coaching staff for the cheer squad at Pittsburg High for 6 years.
I am very excited to be a part of the Parkside family. I will continue to focus my energies on making a welcoming enviornment and a fun interactive school.
