    Will my child be taught by a Toomer teacher?

    Teachers may be a mix of internal and external candidates.  There is no guarantee that your child will have a teacher who works specifically at Toomer Elementary. All teachers will be certified to teach at the elementary level.  Similar to a regular school year, teachers will have support from our instructional coaches as well as support from instructional paraprofessionals. 

     

    Will the school still abide by all mitigation strategies to reduce the risk of COVID-19?

    Yes.  We will continue to follow the Toomer Protocols & Procedures for COVID-19.  Students and staff will still be required to wear masks  and practice social distance while on school grounds. 

     

    What is the Power Up program?

    Get on board as we move "Full STEAM Ahead" with summer learning success! Students will engage in innovative hands on activities while exploring Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics (STEAM). Our STEAM program will be a fun and engaging four-week summer experience. Students will engage in daily STEAM block-making, building, creating and a variety of projects utilizing the engineering design process.
