Dear Garfield Families,
It’s hard to believe we’re already in the second half of the school year! As we head into the home stretch, I want to take a moment to reflect on all the growth we’ve seen so far and share our excitement for what’s still to come.
Our students have accomplished so much—academically, socially, and emotionally—and it’s been a joy to watch them learn and thrive. From classroom projects and reading challenges to science experiments and art displays, their curiosity and creativity continue to shine.
Teachers and staff are working hard to ensure strong finishes to the school year, and we appreciate your continued partnership at home. Please stay connected by checking our emails, social media and website for updates on upcoming events and end-of-year celebrations.
Garfield Elementary School was recently recognized as one of 47 Ohio schools for exemplary work in aligning their curriculum with the Science of Reading! This prestigious recognition, awarded by Governor Mike DeWine, highlights our dedication to evidence-based literacy instruction, ensuring that every student builds strong reading skills for lifelong success. A huge THANK YOU to our amazing teachers, staff, students and families for making this achievement possible!
