Dear Mark Twain students, families and community,

Hello, and welcome to Mark Twain Elementary! Home of the Bullfrogs!  I am honored to serve as the principal of a school with such wonderful history and traditions. I look forward to partnering with our staff, families and school community for a fantastic 2019-2020 school year!

At Mark Twain we are focused on Goal 2: Whole Child, and Goal 4: Mastery of All Subjects, of the Federal Way Public Schools Strategic Plan. In support of Goal 2: Whole Child, we utilize Positive Intervention and Supports (PBIS), to foster a safe, respectful, responsible school climate.  In support of Goal 4: Mastery of All Subjects our staff is committed to continuing to build the capacity of each student scholar, so that they reach their fullest potential. 

We welcome you to stop by our school and learn more about us.  We have many opportunities to volunteer.  We specifically are looking for volunteers to become reading buddies, recess heroes and student mentors.  Please reach out to me if you think that is something that you would like to be a part of.

In partnership,
Tess Johnson, Principal
