School Overview

Welcome to our Community!

At Tekoppel Elementary, you’ll quickly notice the strong sense of Tiger Pride that runs through our building. As a K–5 school, we are proud of the relationships we build with our students and families. Our staff is deeply committed to knowing each child by name, by strength, and by need. We believe students thrive when they feel safe, supported, and challenged, and we work every day to create classrooms where high expectations and encouragement go hand in hand.

At Tekoppel, academic growth and character development are equally important. Through strong core instruction, collaborative Professional Learning Communities, and intentional social-emotional supports, we ensure that every student continues to grow. Whether students are building foundational reading skills, engaging in hands-on learning in related arts, or developing leadership skills in their classrooms, we are preparing them not just for the next grade level, but for lifelong success.

Our Tiger community is built on teamwork. We value the partnership between school and home and believe that when families and educators work together, students benefit most. From school-wide celebrations to everyday moments of kindness, Tekoppel is a place where students learn the importance of perseverance, respect, and pride in their work. We are proud of our tradition, excited about our future, and committed to helping every Tiger shine.

School Song

Tekoppel Tigers!

Tekoppel Tigers, we are the best!
We're in a class above all the rest.
Strong of heart and loyal, too.
Tekoppel Tigers, brave and true.
Whether the odds may be great or small,
Tekoppel School will win over all.
Ever faithful, we will back you,
Go mighty white and blue!
