No Place For Hate®
This is Theiss Elementary School's third year to participate in the Anti-Defamation League’s campaign known as No Place For Hate®. As part of this campaign, Theiss students will participate in activities that promote tolerance and understanding of the differences that exists between us. We will learn how and demonstrate respect for different races, religions, and cultures. Our random acts of kindness will strive to achieve progress in promoting our school as No Place For Hate®.

Campus Kids offers an after school program at Theiss Elementary. Our staff consists of teachers and school personnel who run the program and supervise homework.
