Welcome Message
Welcome to the Land of the Terrapin!
2009-10 is shaping up to be an exciting crossroads in the life of Turtleback
Elementary School. As we approach the 20th anniversary of Turtleback's
existence, our special little school is experiencing re-birth on many
levels.
Most visibly, our facility has been overhauled thanks to the passage of
Proposition C in 2008 (http://www.powayusd.com/bond/html/About.html).
The improvements have resulted in an environment which is safer, more
aesthetically pleasing, and most importantly, more conducive to powerful
learning. For more details on the modernization scope,
please visit
http://www.powayusd.com/bond/html/schools/school_turtleback.html.
Of course, Turtleback Elementary School is much more than bricks and mortar.
We are dedicated to creating a caring place where all members of our school
family are continually learning.
Our Annual Performance Index of 919 out of a possible 1000 points
is just one indicator of our progress toward preparing each and every
student to be college ready by the end of their high school career. In
addition to being an academic powerhouse, I assure you that you will not
find a friendlier school anywhere. Please don’t hesitate to approach me or
any of our wonderful staff members with questions or concerns. We are here
to help you and your child!!
With Terrapin Pride,
Celeste Campbell, Ed.D.
Principal
"Teaching Minds & Hearts"
