Welcome to Garrettford Elementary School, "A Great Place to Grow," and a Nationally recognized School of Excellence. Garrettford is a wonderful school where a positive and productive environment abounds. We, the faculty and staff, believe that real learning involves thinking and the ability to think can be nurtured and cultivated in everyone. We are committed to providing a challenging and caring environment where every student is important and every child works hard every day to reach his or her maximum potential.
I am proud to be supported by an extraordinary staff dedicated to meeting the needs of our students. We have a tremendous Home & School Association, caring parents and supportive community relationships. Together we promote academic excellence, individual self-worth and good citizenship.
You are welcome to contact me anytime if I can be of assistance to you or your child. Working together as educational partners will make Garrettford Elementary School a place where students achieve success and become lifelong learners.
Sincerely,
Wayne R. McAllister
