Tompkins Elementary School

My son has gone to this school for four years. The last two years have been amazing because we had the most incredible teacher. Mrs. Chavez taught my son so much in the 3 & 4 grade. We were lucky enough to have her twice since she moved from third to fourth. She would spend her lunch time tutoring my son when he needed just a little more help. She genuinely cares about her students and it shows. My son asked her to move to the fifth grade so he could have her again. I wish we would have been so lucky in the first and second grade. It wasn't the best experience. I feel my son did not mesh well with the teachers and they were very LONG years! Nichole and Cathy In the front office are really nice and helpful with all kinds of situations. We have appreciated all they have done for us these past four years. We are really hoping fifth grade will go good for us too.

We are so fortunate to have such a wonderful and involved principal, Mrs. Rhea. She is visible and accessible. Watching her interact with kids warms my heart. She genuinely loves children and her job. Her staff is also very caring and ready to solve any problem a parent may have. Ms. Finneran, a first grade teacher, is fantastic. She is making the students bloom!
