Welcome to Tomahawk Elementary School and the 2022-2023 School Year!
I’m entering my 29th year in education and my 5th year at Tomahawk Elementary School. As excited as students get about the start of the new school year, I get just as excited. There’s just something about it! As much as I hate giving up summer, a new school year has me missing sleep the night before school starts. I guess it’s a good sign and shows that I still love being part of education and the Tomahawk Elementary school.
Every school year is a unique school year experience and brings some changes. This year we are doing a slight reboot of our Hatchet Pride Program. Within the first two days of school the students will go over the behavior expectations for all of the different areas of the elementary school with the school staff. Please reinforce the appropriate behavior expectations that will be discussed with your students.
Another change that happens every summer is a change in some teaching staff positions. We had some wonderful people leave TES over the summer and I wish all of those that left good luck in the future but I’m excited to welcome new teaching staff to the elementary school this year. The following new teaching staff are joining us this year:
Kindergarten Teacher – Kristin Pohlman
1st Grade Teacher – Amy Meurer (Not really new to the building but new to the elementary teaching team)
3rd Grade Teacher– Tara Messer (Not really new to the building, but new to the elementary teaching team)
5th Grade Teacher– Bill Heintz
Special Education Teacher – Katherine Loka
If you have the opportunity to say a kind word or share a smile at the start of the school year, please do so. They all are showing an excitement for working with you and your students this year.
In closing, 2022-2023 is going to be a great year. Please remember that your student’s educational experience is our Number 1 priority, so let us know if you have any questions or concerns as we move through the school year. If I can ever be of any assistance, my door is always open.
