Pueblo Gardens Pre K-8

Pueblo Gardens Elementary is part of the Pueblo Gardens Neighborhood. The neighborhood was one of the first subdivisions in Tucson to have its own school, park, and shopping center. It was developed starting in 1947 and the school opened in 1951.

Pueblo Gardens Elementary is a Pre-K to 8th grade school. We are a Title 1 school with Parent and Child Education (PACE) and Explorer programs for the preK students. The school is a Reading First school using the Waterford computer program in grades K-2 for increased student growth and DIBELS assessments to assess student growth in reading skills. Part of our reading program focuses on extra help for struggling students by interventionists. Our math program uses the TERC Investigation units for continuity throughout grade levels, plus Waterford Math and Science in the kindergarten through second grades. All grade levels use the TUSD FOSS kits for science learning. Grades 4-8 have laptop computers once a week for use, in lieu of a computer lab. All of our middle school students attend a guitar class with both beginner and intermediate level classes throughout their three years.

The school has after school programs with activities that vary from semester to semester. Some of those are math, reading assistance K-8, writing assistance 6-8. We also have folklorico, gardening, reader's theatre, technology, visual literacy, geometric design, the Good News Club, Girl Scouts (K-5), the MESA club and Bridgebuilders. In addition we have Saturday school for homework or library use.
