Safe & Secure Enrollment Still Open!🦄
This is a friendly reminder that registration for Garza’s Safe & Secure after-school program is still open — but spots are limited!
Safe & Secure is led by our very own teachers and paraprofessionals who already know and care about your children. With principal oversight and the convenience of your child staying on campus, it’s a trusted option for after-school care.
Students also complete their assignments during the program, giving families more quality time together in the evenings.
If you haven’t signed up yet, we encourage you to do so soon. Please see the flyer for more information. 🦄💙

Good morning, Unicorn Families!
We’re excited to offer Safe & Secure again this school year! While we know there are other after-school programs available, Garza’s Safe & Secure stands out because it’s run by our very own teachers and paraprofessionals: staff who already know and care about your children.
As your child's school principal, I personally oversee the program to ensure everything runs smoothly and that any concerns are addressed promptly. Your child remains on campus the entire time, giving you peace of mind about their safety.
Another benefit: students complete their assignments during the program, freeing up your evenings for meaningful family time.
Spots are limited, so we encourage you to sign up soon! Please check out the flyer below for more information. Gooooo unicorns! :)
