The teachers at this school care about every child. They get to know the families and will go out of their way to help make things better for the families. The principal is stands firm against bullies and all students, staff and families know she takes it seriously. It is a no tolerance! They have great interventions in place to help students who are behind as well as ways to challenge those who are above. Tanaina staff cares about EVERY child.

Wonderful teachers and wonderful staff! We will miss them so much when we move. I love that they are so family oriented. In kinder and first grade the teachers were so happy when I was able to help out. Everybody shows how much they care about the kids. Family breakfasts, the kids marathon, family movie night, Jump rope for heart.... My daughter loves her teachers and so do we!
