Tekoppel Elementary offers a variety of programs designed to encourage and promote success for each student.
Tekoppel is located in the heart of Evansville's westside and is rich in traditions. Our doors opened in 1909, and the original building still stands and is fully operational. It is the oldest original and complete structure which is still fully operational in Evansville. The old building houses our second and third grade classrooms and a parent resource center which is sponsored by our PTA. A "ne
w" addition was attached to the original building in 1960. Kindergarten, first, fourth, fifth, gym, art, and music classrooms and our cafeteria, media center, and offices are located in the new building. Approximately 450 students attend Tekoppel in kindergarten through fifth grade. The Tekoppel faculty and staff consists of 16 homeroom teachers, an art teacher, a vocal music teacher, a physical education teacher, two special education teachers, a speech therapist, a special education assistant, two kindergarten assistants, a media aide, five cafeteria staff members, three custodians, four daycare staff members, a secretary, nurse, a counselor, and a principal. As you enter Tekoppel School and walk down the halls, you can see how our faculty interacts with students in a caring atmosphere. Students are treated with courtesy and respect while being engaged in learning activities to foster creativity, build skills and concepts, and master Indiana Academic Standards.

π¬π Sweet Science Fun at Tekoppel! ππ¬
Ms. Laneβs 4th grade class teamed up with Mrs. Davidβs 1st grade class for a colorful and tasty science experiment! Students worked together to test whether different colored Skittles actually taste different. π¬π
The classrooms were filled with laughter, teamwork, and lots of scientific thinking as students made predictions, tested their ideas, and shared their results. It was a great opportunity for our older students to help guide and encourage our younger Tigers while making learning fun and interactive!
Hands-on learning + teamwork + Skittles = a great day at Tekoppel! π―ππ§ͺ

Our 5th graders put their creativity and engineering skills to the test today with their Egg Drop Project! Students worked hard designing and building protective containers to see if they could keep their eggs safe after a big drop.
From teamwork and problem-solving to lots of laughter and excitement, it was a great hands-on learning experience for everyone involved. We are so proud of the creativity, effort, and critical thinking our students showed today!
