Welcome to Turner/Bartels K-8 - Home of the Bengal Tigers!
Read our Welcome Back Letter for the 2025-26 school year, where our Learning Adventure "A"waits!
At TBK8, our mission is to build strong relationships with all stakeholders to help maximize the potential in every student. We believe that building positive connections and maintaining unconditional positive regard for all students is the foundation for developing strong academic scholars, confident leaders, and lifelong learners.
Every day, our students exhibit Tiger Pride by being respectful to teachers, peers, and visitors; being Responsible by making wise choices and conducting themselves with integrity; and being Engaged in their learning and extracurricular activities. These core values are not just expectations—they are the foundation of our school culture and a reflection of the excellence we strive for at Turner/Bartels K-8.
It is truly an honor to serve alongside such an exceptional faculty and staff, A+ students, dedicated volunteers, supportive business partners, and one of the largest and most active PTSAs—not just in Florida, but across the country.
R. LaMarr Buggs, Principal
