OVERVIEW
Gresham Park Elementary School serves children in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. We are a part of the America’s Choice School Design, which is a comprehensive model to improve student achievement. Our purpose is to recognize the basic needs of children, provide a sound program of skill development, and give each child opportunities for relating with others and developing a sense of civic responsibility as a productive citizen in our society. As always, we are continuing to modify our instructional program to meet the needs of our students so that, "No child is left behind."
SCHOOL GOALS
It is the mission of Gresham Elementary School to promote academic, emotional, and social success through interactive learning opportunities brought about by the collaboration of educators, students, families, and the community. Our goal is that every pupil will accept his own behavior and performance, and assume his responsibility as a productive citizen in our society. We intend to achieve this goal through offering a curriculum that is varied, flexible, and emphasize responsibility, and critical thinking.
