Welcome to the 2024-25 School Year
August 6th, 2024
Welcome Back
Dear Twelve Bridges Families,
On behalf of our outstanding staff, I would like to welcome both our new and returning families to Twelve Bridges Elementary for the 2024-25 school year. My name is Will Middleton, and I am the proud principal of Twelve Bridges Elementary School. We are excited to see you and begin an amazing year!
The Twelve Bridges community is a special place filled with supportive families, amazing students, and dedicated staff. Over the summer, our fantastic PTC has been hard at work planning fun events to enrich our school experience. We’re also excited to showcase some of our newly updated spaces on campus. If you haven’t already, please join the PTC Facebook page to stay informed about these developments and upcoming events.
At TBE, we are committed to providing a safe and engaging environment that challenges our students academically and supports their growth. We are eager to partner with families to create a collaborative and supportive community that fosters student engagement. Together, we can ensure each student has the opportunity to succeed and reach their full potential. We take pride in our school community and look forward to connecting with you throughout the school year.
We will continue to send out information and updates as we approach the start of the school year. In the meantime, our office is officially open, so please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have. Once the year begins, you can expect my Sunday Message in your inbox each week, keeping you informed about what’s happening at school.
We look forward to seeing you all soon. Let’s make this year a fantastic one together!
Go Tigers!
