TES Principal

I’d like to welcome you to Tuckerman Elementary School for the 2023-2024 School Year!

Thanks to the support of Parents, the hard work of OUR students, AND Teachers and Staff…Tuckerman Elementary School has been awarded an “A” designation from the State of Arkansas for the 2021-2022 School Year.

Our goal is to ensure every student has a promising and successful future! To that end, our dedicated teachers and staff work very hard to meet the needs of all students and maintain personal connections with our families. YOUR support and participation in this effort by having your child arrive to school on time, each day, is essential, as is monitoring their progress and homework. Please ask your child to share what they are learning, how their day was, AND of course if you have any questions, communicate directly with your child’s teacher. Our doors are always open to address ANY concerns. If it is important to YOU, it’s important to US. 

We are partners with you in your child’s education and open communication is essential. We use School Reach, Newsletters, Social Media, and our Teacher Web Pages to make sure Parents receive the most updated information about school activities. Our students experience greater success and achieve their educational goals when we ALL work together. If you have ANY questions or concerns about your child’s progress…first, speak with your child about what they are doing in class. Further questions should be directed to your child’s teacher. Our teachers have the most up to date information about your child progress as well as the support of administration to optimize your child’s success. 

Thank you for choosing Jackson County School District for your child’s education, and trusting our teachers and staff at TES with the privilege of working with your children.
