TK Superintendent Craig McCarthy announced he will retire December 31, 2024 after serving 6 ½ years at TK in administrative roles.
What do an elephant, octopus, spaceship, tadpole, bowl of cereal, hot air balloon and an oversized M & M have in common? It’s simple. They are all fifth-grade creative designs inspired by a simple gourd.
TK administrators are aware of the traffic congestion on Main Street, which backs up getting in and out of McFall Elementary. This occurs primarily in the morning drop-off time between 8:30 and 9 a.m. and in the afternoon between 3:15 and 3:45 p.m.
Our school, filled with fourth and fifth graders, is encouraging, nurturing, and a great place for students to learn. We want all our students to feel safe and welcomed into the TK family. As students embark on their last years at the elementary level, they'll develop independence, critical thinking, working in small groups, and creating projects. Through our Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports, we celebrate success and positive behaviors to build a safe and caring environment for all. We reinforce positive character traits and prepare students emotionally, socially, and academically for middle school.
We're glad you're here! We welcome volunteers so please stop in and see us soon!
