Welcome to Kindergarten & GSRP for the 2025-2026 School Year
Welcome to Mars Elementary! Our Kindergarten program is designed to lay a strong foundation for your child's academic and social development. At 51本色, we are committed to inspiring young minds through a comprehensive curriculum.
In addition to the core curriculum, students receive specials in Art, Technology, Music, Media Center, and Physical Education. Our dedicated teachers create a warm, engaging learning environment where students thrive. By teaching the 4C's (collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking,) we ensure that every child is equipped with the skills to succeed. Join us at Mars Elementary and discover the Shamrock Way, where every student is inspired to think, learn, achieve, and care.
