National Teacher Appreciation Week is May 8-12 and very fast approaching! We sent an email to all of the parents, so please refer to that email first and foremost. The Love Notes were due on May 1. If you were not able to get it done in time, do not worry. We will be trying to help those who did not get them done.

Next, we will be providing food for the teachers and staff every day to celebrate their appreciation week. If you have been looking for an easy way to contribute, please sign up to make or purchase a food item. There are many opportunities still available to help out so please review our signup here!

Finally, click here for a flyer which suggests ways you and your student can show the teachers and staff appreciation each day of the week. These are merely suggestions of ways to show appreciation – please feel free to show the teachers and staff appreciation in your own way!

Printed or digital flyer is accepted. But must be presented when paying.
Cannot hand out the flyers to everyone at the door.
Dine in or take out. No deliveries.
We receive 15% of flyer sales that night.

6th grade Earth Science, Moon Phases and Space Unit. We are holding lollipops (the moon) in reference to our light source (the sun) as it orbits the Earth (our heads). We focused on the light that was seen on the lollipop based on our rotation in the classroom to determine moon phases. It was fun!

Dogs are wonderful companions but are not kind to our turf. Dogs are not allowed on the turf and please clean up your dog's mess when taking them on a walk on school grounds.

Dear Galileo neighbors -

In an effort to keep our students safe and our campus secure, we ask that you please close the gate behind you when you enter the school grounds using the walking path.

Thank you.

Please help us be good neighbors by respecting neighbors' driveways and access as you park near Galileo. Also, please don't park and leave your car unattended in a line that is moving. If you need to leave your car unattended, use one of the parking spots in the main parking lot.

Please remember that Galileo is a closed campus from 8:30-4:30. This includes the walking path and playground areas. Visitors who haven't checked into the office will be asked to check in or to leave campus.
