Extra Learning Opportunities

GRR (Garfield Reads and Reads)
Garfield School is proud to provide a new Reading intervention program called Garfield Reads and Reads and Reads.  This program serves grades one through five.  Students are able to meet in small groups designed to meet their reading needs.  In addition, extra teachers and para-professionals have been trained to focus on providing early intervention to students in grades one and two.  We have set aside thirty minutes every morning and mobilized ten teachers and para-professionals to offer varying levels of instruction to meet the needs of all our early readers.
