Welcome to Bowen Elementary

Excellence and Equity in Education

Welcome to Bowen Elementary!

We are excited to welcome you to the Bowen Elementary family—a place where students are known, families are valued, and every Falcon is encouraged to learn, grow, and soar!

Whether you are a returning family or joining us for the first time, we are excited to partner with you in making this a wonderful school year for your child.

At Bowen, we believe that every child deserves to feel known, valued, supported, and excited to come to school each day. Our staff is committed to creating a safe, welcoming, and engaging learning environment where students are encouraged to take risks, ask questions, build relationships, and grow both academically and personally.

Learning, Growing, and Soaring Together

Our students are at the heart of everything we do. We work together as a school community to provide meaningful learning experiences, celebrate student growth, and help every child discover their strengths and potential.

We also know that the strongest schools are built through strong partnerships. Our families are an important part of the Bowen team. We encourage you to stay connected with your child's teacher and our school, ask questions, celebrate your child's successes, and reach out whenever you need support.

A Place to Belong

Bowen is more than a school—it is a community. We want every student and family to feel that they belong here. Through kindness, respect, collaboration, and a shared commitment to our students, we work together to make Bowen a place where everyone can thrive.

We are grateful for the incredible staff, students, and families who make Bowen Elementary such a special place. Thank you for trusting us with your children and for partnering with us throughout the school year.

Together, we will continue to learn, grow, and help our Falcons soar! 


Educationally Yours,

Mary Campione

Bowen Elementary Principal

Welcome to Bowen - You Belong Here

As a collaborative team, we believe we are all valued as different and unique individuals.  We strive to know our kids and appreciate our differences by taking responsibility for ALL, regardless of ability or background.  We will also acknowledge our strengths and skills to maintain a cohesive team of staff and students working with parents while working towards the same goal:  to learn.

We, at Bowen, in order to nurture and foster life-long learners, will provide relevant, rigorous instruction through best practices to maintain high academic performance and cultivate an atmosphere of enthusiastic, self-motivated readers.
