About Tavelli

​

Tavelli is proud to be a S.T.E.A.M focus school.

S.T.E.A.M. is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics. A STEAM school focuses on these subjects to help our students gain the skills required to succeed in today's challenging world.

Tavelli is a PBIS school and we expect all students will follow the Tavelli Motto: Do your best, Do what is right, Respect others, self, and property.

In 2018 Tavelli was honored with the prestigious National Blue Ribbon School Award.

Tavelli has been recognized by the Colorado Department of Education as a

High Achieving School since 2014.

Our Class is a family

Every classroom has a Social Contract. The Social Contract is not a set of rules. A social contract is defined as an agreement of behaviors. This agreement is usually constructed through questions that allow students to respond and discuss how they want their class to run. The social contract is a fluid document that the class reviews on a regular basis. Everyone in the class signs their class social contract.
