 Telluride Elementary School strives to develop the whole child by providing exciting and challenging hands-on experiences. Our child-centered philosophy empowers our students to approach learning with genuine enthusiasm. We are committed to excellence. Our vision is to create a school where each teacher and student will set personal and academic goals and reach beyond them. As teachers our job is to facilitate growth, our expectations high. We stress the importance of a strong partnership between students, teachers, and parents. We believe students need to have a strong foundation in reading, writing, and arithmetic. However, we also view "basic skills" to be much more than communication and computation. Students must have the abilities to think deeply, be problem solvers, work effectively in groups, use technological tools, and see themselves as lifelong learners. Discipline is viewed as growth from dependence to independence. Our students are expected to develop a strong sense of character and values that enable them to meet change with confidence and competence. Principal Trish Scherner |
