WHO WE ARE

Learning Designed for Each Student

At Park Terrace Elementary, we want each child to feel known and valued, be engaged in meaningful learning and develop the foundational skills they need for their future learning. We set high expectations for each student and design the experiences and support they need to succeed.

Personalized Learning Experiences

Learning is shaped around each student's strengths and interests to motivate them and meet their needs.

With Learner Profiles, I’m getting students to think about what they what to be, their dreams, their likes and challenges. We have the conversation one-to-one so they’re really telling me about themselves.

Teacher interacts with students with enthusiasm and they laugh

In order to personalize learning, you really have to think about what each child needs. I let them know that it's totally okay to do whatever they need to do to continue to move forward because you can't stop until you're proud. justine tschida, teacher

Park Terrace is a special place for so many reasons! Our students work hard to show CARES (Cooperation, Assertion, Responsibility, Empathy, and Self Control) each moment of the day in order to support the deep learning of literacy, math, science, and so much more. Our staff is dedicated to each student's success and go the extra mile for their students. We strive to find the spark that makes each student passionate about their learning. Park Terrace is THE place to be! Lindsay Johnson, Park Terrace Principal
