Turman Elementary's mission is to create a community of lifelong learners.
Our Purpose
Turman Elementary celebrated 23 years of education excellence in the 2010-2011 school year. Turman is a small school located in the heart of the Deerfield Hills Community and serves preschool through fifth grade students. We believe all children can succeed and we maintain high expectations of them, encouraging rigorous performance to match their individual potential.
While there is still work to be done on raising student achievement, Turman students have made great gains in academic growth according to the Longitudinal Student Growth Model measurement used by the Colorado Department of Education.
Our Educators
The Turman staff is a committed group of educators who continually study the best instructional practices and go above and beyond to meet students' needs. Classroom teachers and administrators meet on a monthly basis to align curriculum, review student achievement data, make improvements and give feedback on the progress of various educational programs. Turman values high quality teachers, and offers many opportunities for professional development to all staff members.
Turman's highly qualified educational staff uses Write Tools for effective writing, McMillan/McGraw-Hill "Treasures" Curriculum for reading and Math Central Curriculum for math.

Kudos
Kudos to the many parent volunteers that helped make our Valentine Dance a great success. Robin Katsaitis, VIP coordinator, did a great job organizing this fundraising event. Thanks to the organizers, helpers, and, of course, all the families that bought tickets, we raised money for student activities and our family needs fund. Thank you!
