Connect Time
At Carmen Tafolla Community School, we educate the “Whole Child” by prioritizing emotional, social and physical wellbeing. We offer opportunities for students to connect with self, each other, and the community in order to build empathy and confidence. Our students are empowered by choice and encouraged to showcase their unique talents and strengths.
