Programs

At Gardens Elementary, the children are our priority. They represent the future of our community, and their families join us in working to encourage excellence to flourish within and around them. We are constantly reevaluating the needs and strengths of our student population (and that isn't always spelled TAKS), and implementing programs which nurture education in all.

We have a wonderful Parent-Teacher Association, which strengthens and augments communication between the community and the school. For information about the workings of our PTA, a link will soon be here. For further information about the guiding principles of PTA's in general, check out PTA. org .

Here are some of the programs which we have brought to our campus, with the help of many wonderful people in our community and the dedication of tireless (well, let's not be hasty here...) staff members. Click on a program to learn more about what we do.
