Welcome to Team TGES, where Tiger Pride meets endless possibilities!

As your administrative team, we are beyond excited to link arms and lead the Home of the Tigers into an unforgettable 2026–2027 school year! Whether you are a returning family or stepping through our doors for the very first time, welcome—we are so thrilled to have you in our Tiger family!

This year, our school theme is "EXCELLENCE: Demonstrated." Aligned with PGCPS’s district vision, "Forward By Design," we believe that strong plans set our blueprint, but our daily actions bring excellence to life. Above all, our north star remains simple and clear: every decision we make is made in the absolute best interest of our K–5 students.

Inside our classrooms, learning is active, rigorous, and joyful. With Mathematics as a primary focus across all grades K–5, alongside strong instruction in Science, Technology, and literacy—plus dedicated time during our W.I.N. ("What I Need") Blocks—we meet every learner right where they are. Whether a student needs targeted scaffolding and support to master a concept or rich acceleration to stretch their thinking, we tailor learning so every Tiger can thrive and take bold leaps in their growth.

To make this possible, we are deeply committed to continuous growth. We actively invest in our educators, continuously building teacher capacity through highly targeted, research-based best practices to ensure every classroom is led by a world-class instructional team.

Just as importantly, we nurture the whole child. Being a TIGER means practicing Thoughtfulness, Integrity, and Generosity, while staying Engaged and Respectful. We aren't just growing bright scholars—we are raising compassionate human beings who uplift everyone around them.

Great schools thrive on strong partnerships. We are wholeheartedly committed to serving our students, empowering our educators, and collaborating closely with our families and the Bowie community. Stay connected with us through ParentVUE, our school website, our monthly Tiger Tale, Grade-Level Newsletters, and our Family Handbook throughout the year.

Together as "One Team. One Goal.", let's make this year extraordinary!

With warm Tiger Pride,
