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.

Learning is inspired and engagement thrives when each student feels valued and that they belong in our schools.

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.

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

Coding is just one small piece of what students will learn in the new, trimester-long elective for grades 9-12.

Keeping Our Schools Safe, Together

Every family wants their child’s school to be a safe, welcoming place to learn. Keeping students and staff safe is a shared responsibility across Spring Lake Park Schools — one that includes prevention, preparation, strong partnerships and knowing how to respond if something unexpected happens. At the beginning of a new school year, we want to share how we work every day to keep our schools safe. Our students, staff and families are a part of that effort.
