Principal's Message Principal's Message

Dear Twelve Bridges families,


On behalf of our incredible staff, I’m excited to welcome both our new and returning families to Twelve Bridges Elementary for the 2026-27 school year. My name is Will Middleton, and I’m proud to serve as the principal of TBE. We can’t wait to welcome you and get another amazing year underway!


Twelve Bridges is a special community with supportive families, enthusiastic students, and dedicated educators. If you’re new, you’ll soon learn that our Parent Teacher Club (PTC) includes some of the most dedicated and hard-working individuals around. Over the summer, they have been busy planning events that will bring us together and enrich our school experience. If you haven’t yet, be sure to join the PTC Facebook and Instagram page to stay in the loop on exciting upcoming events and other updates. We've included a lot of information from our PTC below.


At TBE, our mission is to create a safe, welcoming, and engaging environment where students are challenged academically, supported socially, and encouraged to grow as individuals. We value our partnership with families and know that working together is the key to helping every student thrive.

As we approach the first day of school next Thursday, August 20th, we’ll be sending more details and reminders. Below, you’ll find more information about the first days of school and other helpful information to get the year started successfully.


Our office is open so please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. Once the year begins, you’ll receive my Sunday Message every week to keep you updated on all things TBE.

We’re looking forward to a year filled with learning, growth, and community connection. Let’s make it our best one yet!


Go Tigers!

Will Middleton
Principal
