Garden Road Elementary School is tucked away amid rock-strewn foothills in the southeast corner of the suburban community of Poway, California. Garden Road serves over 500 students from kindergarten through fifth grade, including special education classes. As part of the Poway Unified School District, Garden Road offers an
Extended Student Services program which provides before and after school care, academic assistance and student enrichment. Our school also provides parent participation, non-parent participation and state-funded
preschool programs for three and four year olds.
Garden Road Elementary was originally constructed in 1961. It has since undergone District improvement projects including an extensive, campus-wide modernization in 2006/2007. Our school benefits from an active
PTA as well as strong parent and community support. Together, dedicated teachers, support staff, and parents are able to offer programs to meet the social, emotional, and academic needs of all students. The strength of Garden Road School is in its caring community: the immediate community of staff and students, the larger community of parents and the greater community of neighbors, businesses and caring adults cooperating in pursuit of the common goal of “All Students Learning, Whatever it Takes”.
Our mission is to ensure that each student at Garden Road will develop the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes essential for success in school and daily living in a diverse society. Parents and community are vital to the success of this mission. To fulfill our mission students will be encouraged to develop independence, responsibility, and respect for all people; the professional, caring staff, which recognizes each child’s uniqueness, will provide an integrated, comprehensive curriculum for students utilizing a wide variety of learning strategies; and the staff, parents, and community will provide a positive, safe learning environment for all students.
