Our students and teachers are back at it for the 2025-2026 School Year. We welcomed our Panthers on a bright, sunny, and mild Tuesday morning. Check out these smiles from our elementary schoolers as they began #GDaleFirstDay2025. #LearnGrowEngageGreendale #CultivatingExcellence
Welcome to College Park Elementary School!
We are so grateful for the opportunity to work with your children each and every day! Our students always impress us with the way they come to school ready to learn, treating others with respect, and taking responsibility for their growth. Their enthusiasm and curiosity shine through as they dive into engaging lessons and hands-on activities that make learning both meaningful and fun.
Each day, our students experience a rich and balanced curriculum that builds strong foundations in literacy, math, science, and social studies. Beyond the classroom, they enjoy opportunities to expand their creativity, curiosity, and physical well-being through Spanish, physical education, music, and art. These experiences allow them to grow not just as learners but as well-rounded individuals who are discovering their strengths and passions.
Of course, the success of our students would not be possible without the incredible support of our families. Your encouragement, involvement, and partnership play a vital role in helping our students thrive. College Park is family!
As we look ahead to the new school year, we are excited to ensure that every child feels valued, supported, and celebrated for who they are and what they can achieve!
Sincerely,
The College Park Team
