Welcome to Tenino Elementary School, home of Tenino the Tiger!

Located in Tenino, Washington, Tenino Elementary School is where you can find third, fourth, and fifth graders learning, growing, and preparing for middle school and life.

We are committed to our District Strategic Plan, and we will be implementing new strategic math and science plans. Our school will evaluate the social studies curriculum and will make recommendations for adoption. We will administer the academic screener, called MAP, three times this year which will provide vital information for staff, parents, and students about students’ strengths and missing skill sets. We are also pleased to offer a strong core program, including integrated technology, during the morning uninterrupted blocks. During the afternoons, we offer physical education, general music, band, drama, art, and Hi-Cap programs.

Need to get in touch with the staff at Tenino Elementary School? We’re always available to talk. Visit our Staff page to get the e-mail address of your child’s teacher or the Contact Us page for our address or phone number. We look forward to hearing from you.

Dear Parents and Students,

Welcome to Tenino Elementary School, where the halls swell each day with the warmth and laughter of children in grades three, four, and five. Through a marriage of hard work and magic, we all grow and expand in a climate of educational focus and success.

We are best described as a high-performing team. We implemented an ambitious school-wide Positive Behavior Support System to provide a cultural foundation through which we can magnify student performance.
 
We are beginning our third year of Response to Intervention and will use the MAP assessment to target interventions, close gaps, and monitor student progress.

We stress citizenship, academics, and good attendance. We believe it is our responsibility to promote a safe, nurturing atmosphere that encourages, in each student, self-discovery, self–assurance, independence, and pride in school, community, and personal accomplishments.

For the 2009-2010 school year, each school principal in our district has specific goals and responsibilities. You are welcome to review mine here.

We invite you to become involved in our school.  Please feel at home here. My door is always open and I look forward to seeing you!

Sincerely,



David Ford, Principal
