Dear Garfield Community
As we begin another exciting school year, I want to extend a warm welcome to all our students, families, and staff! It is with great enthusiasm that we open our doors for a year full of growth, learning, and meaningful connections.
Whether you're returning to Garfield for another year of adventure or joining us for the first time, we are committed to making this year a positive and enriching experience for every student. At Garfield, our dedicated teachers, staff, and I are excited to support each child in reaching their full potential, both academically, socially, and emotionally.
At Garfield, strong home-school partnerships are the foundation of student success. When families and educators work together, our students thrive. I encourage you to stay connected, attend school events, and be actively involved in our school community. Your participation—whether through volunteering, joining our parent groups, or simply staying informed—makes a significant difference in your child’s educational journey.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support. Together, we will create an environment where every child feels seen, heard, and valued. Let’s make this school year our best yet!
At Garfield, Gators EXCEL!
Dr. Braun
