GARVEY Making a Profound Difference!

2023-2024 marks a significant milestone in realizing our commitment to make a profound difference in the Garvey community!

Making a Difference in Capturing Kids’ Hearts

The new post-pandemic normal has been marked by a concerning increase in social-emotional, mental, and behavioral challenges among students. To promote whole-child wellness, our committed team provides individualized support services in a nurturing environment. Schools are optimizing the purposefully designed “wellness center” for group and individual social-emotional learning. Most excitingly, Garvey has embarked on a journey to implement “Capturing Kids’ Hearts,” a research-based transformational process that focuses on social-emotional wellbeing, relationship-driven school culture, and student connectedness.

Making a Difference in Developing Leaders

Leadership development has been the heart of the District’s vision. Emerging from the pandemic, we are recommitted to developing ALL students, including the disadvantaged, as leaders who are equipped with academic competencies, emotional strengths, and moral integrity to advance local and global communities. To this end, our schools are reinvigorating signature programs, including the “Leader in Me,” Dual Language Plus, and STEAM programs, to develop future-ready global leaders.

Making a Difference in Serving the Whole Family 

Garvey understands the importance of family in fulfilling the whole-child mission. Through the partnerships with community agencies, we offer ongoing parent education on academic support, health workshops, and on-campus counseling services. Garvey has embraced the whole family as important partners in our journey.

Despite the prevailing challenges, Garvey continues to make a profound difference in providing a safe, happy, and vibrant haven where all students, parents, and staff can journey and grow together.
