Our School
Welcome Garden Park students, families and community!
At Garden Park, we are committed to equipping all of our students with the academic and personal skills for lifelong success. Our school has a long record of academic excellence and students consistently outperform the state average on rigorous state standardized testing.
We offer a variety of school programs to help enhance the educational experience of our scholars, including:
- AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) focuses on Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading.
- 100 Mile Club helps students to develop healthy choices related to positive growth mindset and whole-body health.
- College and Career Mentor Program supports our sixth graders in building self-esteem, lifelong learning opportunities and setting college and career goals.
- ELO (Expanded Learning Opportunities), such as after-school intervention, provides additional support to help students achieve grade level academic skills.
We are grateful that our PTA is very active on campus, and organizes many popular events such as Skate Night, Trunk-or-Treat, Winter Workshop, Movie Night, Sweetheart Dance, APEX Fun Run, and more. Every month, our PTA also holds the Family Dine Night, where students and families have dinner at local restaurants. PTA members also fund educational programs and materials, such as the Accelerated Reading program, homework planners, field trips, and more.
We are committed to celebrating our students' many accomplishments. Our Monthly Geckos Award Ceremony awards honors students for demonstrating our monthly scholarly habits. Each teacher nominates two scholars from each class to be awarded during the outdoor Friday Flag Assembly. We also have the Trimester Awards which include our Geckos Awards, Special Recognition Awards and Accelerated Reader Awards.
Garden Park is a small school with a strong sense of community, with staff and parents working closely together with a focus on academic achievement.
Please feel free to stop by our office for any questions, comments or concerns. We are excited for a new school year with our scholars, families and community!
