Principal's Message
Dear Bulldog Families-
I hope that you were able to enjoy the snow and it didn't cause you any problems other than the opportunity to relax. I cannot believe that we are closing our third quarter of the 2023-2024 school year. Friendly reminder for 6th grade families, math grades will be either pass or fail; there will not be letter grades for 6th grade math.
This week we welcome the Colorado State Review Panel. Members include educators from around Colorado and they will be joining us on Monday and Tuesday. These educators will evaluate Galileo Middle School on our Two Big Rocks: Instructional Excellence and Positive School Culture. They will observe classrooms, meet with teachers, staff, administrators, students and families. We are looking forward to showing them all the wonderful things that we do each and every day at Galileo Middle School and welcome their feedback.
Eighth grade will attend Skate City on Tuesday, and Friday we will have Whole School Community Circle and Grade Level Award Celebrations.
We are excited to make this our best week, yet! I hope that you have a wonderful spring break.
In partnership,
Julia Scott
Galileo Middle School Vision: "Galileo students will engage in purposeful, authentic, integrated core subjects with real-world connections."
CMAS Notes of Encouragement
We understand that students feel pressure during April when we are administering CMAS. We thought it would be fun for families to write letters to their child giving them words of encouragement, affirmations, and whatever else you would like to share with them to kick off testing. If you would like to send your student a note, please have them in a sealed envelope with your child's full name and grade on the envelope turned into the front office no later than Friday, March 22nd. You can also email them to julia.scott@d11.org and we will print and seal the note for you. Please put CMAS Note in the subject line. More CMAS information forthcoming.
