Trailside Elementary is a new elementary and the 2024-25 school year is the first year for Trailside. Trailside Elementary combines two school communities from the former Arthur and Garfield Elementaries. Our new elementary school serves students starting in Kindergarten through 5th grade. We provide learning opportunities to our neighborhood students. We have specialists in the areas of Art, Library, Music, Physical Education, and PACT. We are a Title I school and provide services for students needing additional support in literacy and math. We have a couple Special Education programs who support students with academics and behaviors. We also have an ELL (English Language Learner) program that supports students with limited English skills.
Our highly qualified, dedicated staff works together with students and families towards the goal of developing students for their future. The emphasis is placed on teaching reading, written language, math, science, social studies and social emotional learning. We work hard together as a school community to establish a learning environment that promotes the development of positive self-concepts, effective problem solving skills, collaboration, and respect for each other.
We look forward to serving you at Trailside Elementary and continuing the tradition of excellence that has been built at our former schools of Garfield and Arthur.
We want Every Learner to be Future Ready!
In your service,
Jennifer Nurre
Principal
