A Note From The Principal
Turner Elementary will have Site Council meetings each quarter. If you are interested in contributing to decisions made at Turner Elementary, please reach out to Ms. Hudson to become part of this team. Hudsont@turnerusd202.org
Thank you to all families for your patience with enrollment and car rider procedures this year! With over 650 students at Turner Elementary, our top priority is keeping your children safe.
Speaking of safety, in accordance with state requirements, we will be conducting 9 crisis drills at Turner Elementary this year. Teachers will review expectations with students in class meetings and students will have opportunities to ask questions.
Turner USD 202 is a paperless district. We look forward to sharing events and exciting things happening through the district website, phone & email dialers, electronic monthly newsletters, weekly morning video announcements, Schoology and Facebook @TurnerElementaryCubs.
It is a true pleasure working with your children everyday. Thank you for your continued support!

Jackets and Tennis Shoes
Tennis shoes are highly recommended for students each day. Students have multiple recesses, physical education class and up to 6 transitions throughout the building a day-including going up and down stairs. Tennis shoes create a much safer day for students.
