About

Hello Timothy Ball families! We are extremely excited for a new school year to begin! The staff at Timothy Ball is extremely qualified and talented, ready to provide a great educational experience for every student. We pride ourselves in building strong, positive relationships with students and families throughout each school year. This year will be no exception.

Schools should be a positive place, where students find friends and adults that believe in them. I believe that all students have great potential, and it is our responsibility at school to help them find ways to maximize their strengths and explore their interests. Leaders can be developed in elementary school, and I will work with our staff to expand and build experiences for students that provide them these types of opportunities.

Together with parents, I believe that we can help kids have a great experience at school. Communication and collaboration are important while we work to help students feel safe, comfortable, included and successful at school. It is our goal at Timothy Ball for students to come home excited about their day, talking about their friendships, their learning experiences and their love of Timothy Ball.

Please do not hesitate to reach out with questions, ideas, or concerns - I look forward to partnering with you! I can be reached via email at reckart@cps.k12.in.us or by calling our front office at 219-663-0047.

Best Regards, Dr. Ryan Eckart, Principal
