Hello everyone! My name is Ilse Bowman and I am the Parent Liaison at NFES. This is my first year in this position but I have been involved in the Paraprofessional field for 3 years and also as an Interpreter. I have 3 children - Michael is 23 he graduated from Mercer University; Alexa is 20 and is attending Georgia Tech; and, Sean is 12 and he is at White Water Middle - but I consider all the students at NFES to be part of my family. My purpose is to assist you - all of our parents and guardians - with the resources and information you may need to help your children succeed in school. I am here to help you navigate all your years at NFES and welcome your engagement by serving as a link connecting you with our school. If you have any questions, please reach out to me at bowman.ilse@fcboe.org.
If you need to locate me during the school day, you can find me in the Parent Resource Center.
