8th graders in Mr. Watkins’ PLTW Flight and Space class were challenged to design and build a creation that could glide through the air and successfully land right side up.

Students had to think like engineers as they experimented with different designs, tested their ideas, and made adjustments to improve their results.

Check out some of their great designs!

Welcome to the Kindergarten Counting Café!

Our kindergarten students had a fun morning as their classrooms were transformed into their very own Counting Cafés! Complete with chef hats and tablecloths, our little chefs were ready to get to work!

Students have been learning about counting collections, and today they put those skills into action by becoming chefs and carefully counting the ingredients needed for a recipe.

What a fun way to bring math to life through hands-on learning! We loved seeing our kindergarteners counting, creating, and having fun along the way!

We are so excited to share some BIG news!

For the second school year in a row, Tointon Academy of Pre-Engineering has been named a PLTW Distinguished School for both Launch and Gateway!

PLTW Launch brings hands-on, engineering-based learning to our elementary students, encouraging them to explore, create, and solve real-world problems.

PLTW Gateway builds on those skills in middle school through engaging STEM experiences that challenge students to design, build, test, and improve their ideas.

This recognition is a reflection of the incredible work happening every day in our classrooms. We are so proud of our students and teachers who continue to learn, create, problem-solve, and bring engineering to life!

Thank you to our amazing Tointon community for supporting our engineering journey. We are so proud to be Tointon Engineers!

🎉 What a GREAT First Week of School! 🎉

We couldn’t be more proud of the way our Tointon Academy students and staff have started the school year! 💚🧡

Throughout this first week, students and teachers have been working hard to build a school community where everyone feels SAFE, SEEN, VALUED, and HEARD. These values are at the heart of what we do, and it has been amazing to see them come to life in our classrooms and throughout our school.

⭐ To celebrate our first week, teachers selected one student from each grade level who demonstrated RESPECT in an outstanding way. We are so proud of these students for modeling what it means to show respect for themselves, their peers, and their teachers!

A huge THANK YOU to our incredible staff and amazing students for making the first week of school such a positive and successful one. We are excited for all that this school year will bring! 🚀

Tointon Academy is BETTER TOGETHER! 🧡💚

Hello Tointon! My Name is Austin Kolm, and I am honored to serve you as assistant principal and athletic director this year. This will be my 2nd year at Tointon and my 12th year in education. Prior to my time at Tointon Academy, I taught math for 8 years at Thompson Valley High School in Loveland, and coached football, basketball, and track. My start in education was at Jefferson High School, where I taught for 2 years. I am excited for the opportunity to serve this community again!

Hello Engineers,
My name is Sean Miller and I am excited for my 3rd year as a member of the Tointon Academy family and my first year serving as your Assistant Principal. I have 14 years of experience teaching math at Greeley Central before joining Tointon Academy. During this time, I served as an adjunct professor through UNC in which I taught Trigonometry, Calculus 1, and Calculus 2. I received my master's through the University of Northern Colorado and Wyoming in Mathematics Education and I completed my administrative licensure through Fort Hays State University. I am an avid fisherman, coach, and family man. My son Finley is excited to be a 3rd grader and my daughter Anabelle is ready to join Kindergarten here at Tointon. Go Engineers!
