Welcome to Colfax Elementary!
Where Every Child Matters and Every Family Belongs

Hello and welcome! I’m Tristan Kittilson, the proud new principal of Colfax Elementary here in beautiful Colfax, Wisconsin. Whether you're a longtime member of our school family or exploring our district for the first time, we’re so glad you're here.

At Colfax Elementary, we are more than just a school—we’re a supportive and tight knit community where innovation meets tradition, and every decision is made with students at the heart. Our dedicated staff works hand-in-hand with families to create a warm, inclusive environment where every child can grow, learn, and thrive.

From our vibrant classrooms to our engaging extracurricular programs, Colfax is a place where curiosity is encouraged, creativity is celebrated, and character is built. We believe in partnering closely with families to ensure that each child receives the care, guidance, and academic challenge they deserve.

We invite you to explore our site, reach out with questions, and most of all, feel right at home. We can’t wait to meet you—and welcome you into the Colfax family!
