About Us

Our Students: At H.P. Fitzgerald Elementary School we strive to create a positive, safe and enriching learning environment for all students.  We want each child to know we care about them and believe in their ability to succeed.   Along with a fully engaging learning program, we provide a variety of additional programs and opportunities for students to explore and develop many different skills.  We currently have a Flag Football Team, a Cheerleading/Dance Team, Boy Scouts of America, Writing Club, Yearbook Club, Newspaper/Journalism Team, and Honor Choir.

Our Parents:  Parents are so important to the success of each child.  At H.P. Fitzgerald Elementary School, we want parents and family members of our students to feel welcome and a part of our school community.  We encourage parents to come into our school to work with students, help with school projects and share their ideas when decisions are made regarding student learning and school programs.  Along with our parent meetings to discuss fundraisers and school wide functions, the principal also has roundtable meetings to share current school progress with parents and answer questions parents may have.

Our Staff: The staff at H.P. Fitzgerald Elementary School is dedicated to working together as a team to meet the needs of the students.  At Fitzgerald, we have the belief that every staff member is here to help all of the children to be successful, feel safe and to look forward to coming to school everyday.  Staff members participate in many after school and weekend community events, so that students may have a variety of experiences to grow and learn from. We have worked to create a happy and giving community of which students, staff and parents all feel a part!

Our Community: Our school participates in a number of community programs that benefit the health and wellness of our students.  Annually, UNLV dental students conduct a seminar to teach our students proper dental hygiene and provide educational information on the teeth and mouth.  We also participate in the Dental Outreach Program and our students have received free eye exams and free eyeglasses from the Gift of Sight Program.  The Chef’s for Kids Program provides an excellent opportunity for our students to learn about good nutrition and to eat a free meal especially prepared for them.

We are particularly appreciative of; Sante Fe Station Hotel and Casino, Silver State Schools Credit Union, Leon Parson and colleagues of State Farm Insurance and the Detroit Connection. As our community partners they have made immeasurable contributions to the development of our students.
