Tahoe Elementary, in partnership with our families and community, will provide an environment where students and staff become lifelong learners and moral, ethical, compassionate people reaching their full potential. At Tahoe, we understand that there are four components that are paramount to building a school where students reach their full potential.
The SHINE mission encapsulates those four areas and was created by staff as we worked to develop goals for our “ideal” school. Our mission brings together the major areas that we address in order to build an effective school and provide the lens for our vision: a Safe and caring environment; Home/school connections; Instruction that meets student needs and results in academic achievement; and Neighborhood/community involvement where Everyone wins. At Tahoe, we SHINE!
Elementary, middle, and high school students are assigned to a designated neighborhood school based on where the student lives, as long as the school offers the services the student needs. Each neighborhood school has a defined geographic boundary and is intended to serve the students who live within that geographic boundary.
Go to our Attendance Area page for more information about school boundaries, attendance maps and our neighborhood school locator.
On June 2nd, the College and Career Readiness department hosted a celebration for the district’s FIRST Lego League Jr. Program participants. It was a fun filled day with activities, robotics celebrations and pizza to end out the school year. Students also demonstrated their extensive knowledge to team reviewers. This year’s program was AQUA Adventure and students not only took a look at water usage in the Sacramento Valley, they learned critical thinking and basic coding skills.
Students at Tahoe Elementary School celebrated the opening of a newly constructed greenhouse on their school grounds.
The Rotary Club of East Sacramento completed and funded the project and this week officially turned over the key to students and teachers of Tahoe Elementary.
The decision to make this transition is significant because Earth Day is on April 22, which is the perfect way to celebrate the completion of the project.
