Welcome to The Garden
Greetings Garden City Elementary Families. Welcome to "The Garden" for the 2021-2022 school year. Our theme at The Garden this year is Full STEAM Ahead. We are focused on teaching and learning and making every effort to ensure that students are having enriched learning experiences. We are excited to have students in the building and are looking forward to having a successful school year.
Safety First
We must all do our part to keep each other safe. Make sure you and your family are staying safe at school, at home, and everywhere you go. Monitor your symptoms at stay home if you are not feeling well.

Stay home if you are not feeling well. Contact us at the school so we can provide guidance on when you should return to school.
COVID Reminders
If you are awaiting a COVID test result for you or your child, please stay home and keep your child at home. If someone in your household has tested positive for COVID-19, please keep your child home from school and alert your child’s teacher. If your child has tested positive for COVID-19, please keep him/her home and alert your school.
Hand Washing
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds - especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, sneezing, or touching your face. If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth, and wash your hands after touching your face.
