Family Resources

Welcome to Thomas lake Elementary!

Thomas Lake Elementary is a neighborhood school where students are known, supported, and encouraged to do their best every day. We believe children learn best when they feel safe, valued, and connected, so we work hard to build a school community where every student and family feels welcome. Through our PRIDE values of Positivity, Respect, Integrity, Determination, and Excellence, we help students grow not only as learners, but also as kind, responsible members of our community. One core message guides all we do: You are loved here.

Learning is at the heart of Thomas Lake. Our dedicated staff provides engaging, innovative instruction with high expectations while supporting every student's growth. Our campus, adjacent to Thomas Lake Park, a native prairie, and Thomas Lake, extends learning beyond the classroom and provides unique opportunities to explore and connect with nature.
