Tulita Elementary School

Tulita is a wonderful school. It is a quaint little school and every year I have been impressed by the teachers and the quality of care and attention to detail each teacher has shown in all of my little boy’s classes!
My little boy has been there since DK (Developmental Kinder) and the DK program was such a huge bonus for our little boy. He had a phenomenal introduction to education with Mrs. Melissa Martin. She showered each one with love and encouragement and positive reinforcement everyday. The kids thrived in this environment. And our little boy is continuing to thrive and loves school! Thank you Mrs. Martin!
The staff here are great! Everyone knows everybody. The principal Dr. Farzad looks at the cars in the valet coming through and knows what child goes with what car! Lol amazing! And I can’t remember what I wore the day before! The office staff, Debbie, Ruth, Colleen and Principal Dr. Farzad are just wonderful.
Dr. Farzad has made herself readily available to meet with parents any time to talk about any concerns. She has met with me over my Chromebook use concerns and has really been so helpful.
The CDC staff has been amazing as well. Mrs. Wyn has been so helpful and so supportive. And all of the teachers have been wonderful!
Thank you Tulita for making school such a happy, safe and fun place for KB to learn and thrive!!! We thank you!

My son attended a morning Transitional Kindergarten class for the year 2013 – 14 and he absolutely loved it. The teachers were WONDERFUL! The class taught the essential reading and arithmetic skills very well and also highlighted a new social skill of the week which he continues to apply at home. Lots of enriching projects and programs including Hands on Art, family days, and 1 – 2 field trips and PTA hosted events. I also love that the principal was very positive and on top of things, sending home frequent voice messages by phone and email to keep parents in the loop. The office staff is the nicest you could ask for. Parking is across the street on Helberta st. You get to know Dave the kind and patient crossing guard. Parking can be difficult on certain, all-​school events but was not terrible. The parent support of classroom and teachers is astonishing. I’ve come away this year having made some new friends as well. Wish this was our home school! *tear* :) Thank you Tulita!!!

My kids attended pre-​k and are enrolled in before/​after school care. It’s a great place to send your kids and staff is wonderful. Plus, it’s open early.

Overall, a very good school. However, know it’s a hen fest. It’s an all female staff, which at times shows its wear on the children. They use to have a wonderful male teacher who the kids loved, but thanks to tenure, he was let go. It would be nice to have male role models and also to bring balance to the school.
As far as a public school, Tulita is pretty good. Good mix of kids.

Speaking on the field only, it’s alright — but, not as nice as Alta Vista… The parking here is a nightmare, too.

I have an older son who went to Tulita and is now at Cal St Monterey Bay and held a 3.6 gpa at RUHS. I also have two children who go there now. The teachers are very good as a whole. My son, who is now in second grade, made tremendous advances in reading and math as a first grader. It’s a very safe school in a great area. As public schools go, Tulita is very good. On a side note, I to went to Tulita years ago. For me it was a great school to start my education.
