Welcome to Buckingham Elementary and an exciting new school year! We look forward to getting to know each of our families well and working together to create an inclusive and supportive community—a school that is welcoming and joyful for everyone.

Our educational program offers a rigorous approach to teaching core subjects: reading, writing, and mathematics. These subjects are further enriched with an integrated STEM focus (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). Through meaningful learning activities grounded in STEM, students develop and apply their skills and knowledge to real-world questions. This approach fosters critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity—what we refer to as the "4 C's" at Buckingham Elementary. Our dedicated staff facilitates and supports these essential life skills through hands-on, minds-on, and joyful learning experiences.


Belonging is fundamental in a learning community where everyone thrives.

Feeling at home and being recognized, accepted, and valued fosters a sense of belonging for students, staff, and families. At Buckingham, we cultivate a deep care for each learner, nurturing their unique academic and social-emotional growth. We extend this care to every family we serve, as well as to our dedicated staff who passionately educate and support children each day. Whether you are a student, parent, caregiver, or visitor, our ultimate goal is to create a strong sense of belonging for everyone at Buckingham Elementary. Everyone has a home here!

We value our partnerships with caregivers and truly believe that the strength of our community influences the experience of each student at Buckingham. As your child's first teacher, we invite and appreciate your wisdom and active participation as we journey through the year together.

Stephanie Jensen, our Vice Principal, and I are honored and excited to serve the Buckingham community.

Thank you for your trust and for sharing your children with us each day!
