Tesoro Del Valle Elementary School

This is very good school. My son is attening the school and my daughter attended the school from year one of openning. My son attended from pre-K and I have no issues. The school has solid teachers and the principal is well seasoned. After school enrichment classes are great and my children love them.

This is a fantastic school in a great community. The Principal and teachers are absolutely wonderful. It's a model school. I cannot imagine anyone not satisfied with this school. Children there are respectful towards their teachers, peers and enthused about learning in the classroom. My daughter attended Tesoro since the beginning and enjoyed every moment there. She is now in Junior High doing very well due the great preparation she got at Tesoro Elementary.

Principals favor children that afre spoiled and rotten, and beleive everything they say. Children are framed all of the time.

Tesoro del Valle Elementary is an exceptional school. Our first year was truly better than we could have even imagined. Every single employee (from the custodian to the nurse; front office staff to the teachers) cares about the students. When you enter the school, it feels like you are entering a family where people take the time to learn your name. The school is very academic - students have homework nightly, and parents are expected to be involved in the learning process. This is what sets Tesoro apart - parents are in the classrooms volunteering, helping out in the library, and donating time and money to the very involved PTA. Because of this parental involvement, Tesoro has an excellent library, new computers, a full-time music and physical education teacher (which have been eliminated at many schools), a fabulous art program, and several assemblies and events throughout the year. When we had a concern about bullying, it was dealt with swiftly and professionally by the responsive principal, yard duty staff and teachers. As I said, EVERYONE truly cares about the students and their families, and it shows! We are so grateful for this exceptional school!

We love this school! Our son loves going to school every day, and so do all his friends. The teachers are energetic and engaging, and they involve parents in the learning process. A weekly newsletter is sent home from the principal, and an email is sent home each week from the teacher as well, detailing the week's homework, projects and any special activities or information that needs to be shared. Children have nightly homework, and are also expected to read for 20 minutes (which is a GREAT habit to start at this age). Parents are involved in every aspect of the school - homework, planning fun events (father-daughter dance, mother-son bowling, fall festival, etc), PTA, volunteering in classrooms. My son had a non life threatening medical emergency at school and they called me instantly, beginning with, "Your son is okay, but...." which was much appreciated. No one likes to see their child's school on call display! I appreciate that they handled it calmly, professionally, and immediately. It is nice to know that he is in great hands. We're so pleased with Tesoro. The teachers are wonderful & caring, and they make learning fun!

Tesoro del Valle is a wonderful school. Our son was new to the US school system and faced several challenges. My son's teacher was so patient and helped us to navigate through the various programs available to help our son - even the principle got involved. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. We look forward to another year at Tesoro.

My son has been enrolled at Tesoro since kindergarten and is now in 4th grade. I have been blessed that my son, and now his sister have had the opportunity to attend this wonderful school. The teachers are focused on the needs of all children and hold very high expectations for their students. Parents are asked to be involved with their child in all areas of learning and the rewards are evident in all they do. The teachers are kind, but hold the kids accountable, which is very beneficial.

Tesoro is an excellent school. The parents and teachers are involved with the students progress and the school has a very active PTA involvement. Both my kids have developed good study habits because of the daily homework requirement. The school/PTA also offers different enrichment classes through out the school year.

I am a Physics Professor who finds this school one of the best ever. I moved with my family to the area mainly because of the extraordinary schools in the area. During these 4 years, Tesoro del Valle has exemplified what a great school is all about. The Teachers, Staff, facilities, Principal and PTA are remarkable and the location is ideal. My daughter is in 4th grade and has learned a great deal of math and science through daily homework, lectures, activities, etc. I can attest that because my wife and I are involved very closely with her daily, intense homework. A number of kids who transferred from some private schools have had difficulties to adjust to the serious pace of Tesoro del Valle. Above all, this school has a great environment and its location is in a beautiful and safe community. What else can you ask for?

As first time parents of a Kindergartener, we are extremely happy with the classroom learning and how excited our daughter is about attending school every day. The school newletter comes home with her every week as does the weekly letter from the teacher with the schedule of activies and classroom assignments. Commincation between the parents and teacher is excellent. I especially like the size of the school and the classrooms. I forgot to pack a snack for my 5 year old for her nutrition break, I panicked and called the office. They offered to help me and delivered graham crackers to her. The sense of community between parent and school is great. We also go to the after school program at Tesoro and very pleased with Ms. Susie and all the counselors.
