About Tobler Elementary

Tobler is a neighborhood elementary school rather than a district magnet campus. Assignment is based on a family's home address, with any out-of-zone access subject to current CCSD Choice rules and campus capacity.

School life centers on literacy, math, science and social studies. PE, art, music and library or media are common CCSD elementary patterns, but families should confirm the current specials schedule.

The school site describes a garden built with Green Our Planet and community partners. Photo albums have also shown chess, music clubs, student leadership and Accelerated Reader celebrations, though names and availability may change.

School leadership

Confirm with the school office

The guide does not identify the current principal. Leadership and staffing may change, so confirm the current team directly with the school.
