Wonderful TES Families,

Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year!  I hope everyone is excited to start another fantastic year with us at Talent Elementary.  Our staff are super eager to begin our collective learning journey together.  In fact, one of my favorite things about being the principal at this school is how much our staff genuinely love working with your children.  The care and dedication that the team demonstrates on a daily basis are admirable.  As we enter the school year, I hope you feel this deep sense of connection with our TES family.  

This year we will continue our focus centered on engagement.  When we speak about engagement, we mean students being actively engaged in their learning through their academic and social growth.  We mean staff leaning into cycles of improvement and connecting with the entire school community.  And, we mean families acting as equal partners in the learning and decision-making processes of their children.  

If you are new to us this year, or if you’ve had your children in our school for many years, our belief remains that families and the school must maintain open communication and collaboration to help ensure that all students rise to their highest growth potential.  Simply put, we cannot do our business without the commitment and engagement of our families.  And, as a parent myself, families cannot do business without the unwavering support of our staff.  In this way, we complete each other…family and school.  Our aim this year is to continue our efforts to bring families alongside each other and with the educational process.  We will continue to offer new an innovative approaches to how/when we meet with families to help ensure that we help foster connection and share valuable techniques to support learning in the home.  

We believe that all students can and will achieve great success this school year.  Through collaborative relationships between home and school, we can grow to the greatest heights imaginable.  The sky is the limit!

If you have any questions that arise, please feel free to reach out to our office, pop by to meet in person, or shoot me an email directly.  We are here for you in all capacities.  

Let’s make this year one for the books!

With all my love and support,

Heather Lowe

Proud Principal, Talent Elementary School
