Welcome to Bowen Elementary

Excellence and Equity in Education

Dear Bowen Families,

Welcome to Bowen Elementary! As we move through another year of learning and growth, I am thrilled to extend a warm welcome to all of our students and families.

At Bowen Elementary, we believe in fostering a nurturing and intellectually stimulating environment that encourages academic excellence, personal development and a sense of community. Our dedicated faculty and staff are committed to providing the highest quality education, engaging in innovative teaching practices, and supporting each student’s unique journey.

Throughout the year, we implement an exciting lineup of academic programs, extracurricular activities and events to enhance your educational experience. From our renowned Capturing Kids Hearts Program to our Back to School Bash, there are numerous opportunities for you to explore your interests, develop new skills, and forge lasting friendships.

For parents and guardians, your involvement and support play a crucial role in your child’s success. We value your partnership and look forward to collaborating with you throughout the school year. Open communication between home and school is essential, and we encourage you to reach out whenever you have questions or concerns.

Thank you for choosing Bowen Elementary as your educational home. Together, we will make this academic year exceptional.

Educationally Yours,

Mary Campione

Bowen Elementary Principal

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.
