Tierra Linda prides itself on providing its students a well-rounded educational experience where students feel safe while engaging in their learning. Tierra Linda staff approaches students with care and compassion, utilizing Community Building Circles, Social-Emotional Curriculum, CHAMPS and Positive Behavior Intervention structures to guide and shape students social-emotional well being and reinforce positive behavior in the classroom and on campus.
A highlight of the campus is our Tierra Linda Community Council, a student leadership organization for 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students who strive to engage with and improve their school and community. Students in TLCC contribute to the school Yearbook, act as role models through our Excellence for All, Wellness and CHAMPS committees and drive our school spirit and community engagement efforts through the Community Outreach committee.
Students at Tierra Linda are very active in the Makerspace and Life Labs. We pride ourselves in developing a strong Big Buddy - Little Buddy program where students in grade 3rd - 5th connect with and mentor our TK - 2nd grade students.
Our students participate in instruction in Music, Art, and Dance throughout the year, providing well-rounded and ongoing development in the arts.
Our Parent Teacher Association provides several opportunities for families to come together and build community. They are active volunteers on campus, supporting the Makerspace, Life Lab, Art Docent and a variety of other programs.
Tierra Linda focuses on building community and developing young leaders.
