This school year, we’re inviting our entire Tunnell School Community—students, staff, and families—to show their Thunderbird Pride!
Our district motto is: Cultivating Bright Futures.
To celebrate this vision, we’re introducing Tunnell Thunderbird Community Theme Days for the 25-26 school year:
✨ Monday – Messages that Matter
Wear a t-shirt or sweatshirt with a positive message that inspires HOPE, JOY, LOVE, or STRENGTH. Let’s start the week with kindness and encouragement!
🎓 Tuesday – Future Focused
Show off your dreams for the future by wearing a college, university, or trade-school t-shirt or sweatshirt. Every step we take together helps us learn, grow, and become the people we’re meant to be. The future is bright—let’s dress for it!
💙 Friday – Tunnell School Spirit Day
Wear your Tunnell spirit gear and/or yellow and blue to celebrate our amazing community.
Throughout the year, we’ll also host fun school spirit events to keep our pride strong and our community connected.
Let’s make this a year full of unity, positivity, and Thunderbird pride!
Go Thunderbirds!
Welcome
WELCOME to Tunnell Elementary School, home of the Thunderbirds. Tunnell School provides a warm, stimulating environment where students are actively involved in learning academic content as well as positive values. We are excited about our school and welcome all parents, guardians, and community members to join in our efforts to create successful, responsible citizens. We invite you to explore our website, which provides valuable information about our school.
Our school is staffed with teachers who are dedicated to helping our students succeed. We take it upon ourselves to be constant learners. Students receive a standards-based curriculum, presented by dedicated professionals based on the individual needs of the students. We are considerate of students' academic and social backgrounds, and build students' learning based on students' knowledge and experience. Ongoing evaluation of student progress and achievement helps us refine the instructional program so students can achieve academic proficiency. We have made a commitment to provide the best educational program possible for all of our Tunnell School students.
