The mission of South Tamarind Elementary School is to responsibly facilitate the development of our students' academic and social well-being so they may thrive in a continually changing world.

South Tamarind is a great school.  We are proud of our students and our programs.  We believe that quality education for all students can be achieved through high standards for academic performance and behavior.  We are fortunate to have strong family/school partnerships and a dedicated, enthusiastic staff who are committed to providing the best possible education for South Tamarind students.

The South Tamarind School Community is dedicated to maximizing the personal, social, and academic successes of each child by providing a safe and challenging environment where all students work cooperatively and actively participate in the process of learning.

We celebrate our successes and we recognize that we must continue to find strategies for improving academic achievement of ALL students.  We are committed to this and hope to see continued growth during the 2005-06 school year.
