Greetings! I am Anne Gayman, and I am happy to welcome everyone to Bowman Creek Elementary. This fall marks the start of my 20th year as a principal. Prior to Auburn, I taught in an elementary school in Kitsap County.
I have had a wonderful experience as an educator. I believe that working together is the key to our success and that every voice is important. My top priority is working with staff and students to make our school a positive learning environment. Our team is committed to enhancing our capacity to engage, educate and empower students in their academic and social emotional learning.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me or our staff. I am excited to listen to your ideas and work with each of you to strengthen our sense of community here at Bowman Creek.
Anne Gayman, Principal
Bowman Creek Elementary School

Early Dismissal:
If your child has an an appointment and will need to leave early, someone on their emergency contact list will need to sign your child out in the office. Please avoid picking your child up early if there is no appointment or emergency. Typically, teachers implement important routines at the end of the day; like cleaning up and discussing homework and student goals.
