Weekly news for our Galindo Community 8.13.24
Message from Ms. Barreto
Summer is coming to an end, and I have been enjoying the buzz of excitement here at Galindo. The teachers and staff have returned to prepare the classrooms for our Grizzlies!
Our office construction is almost completely updated, and we now have a secure vestibule where parents will enter! We are excited for the increased security! We also have a brand new guinea pig, Bertito, who lives in the office!
It was so much fun to see the children and families at our Popsicles event!! I can't wait to have everyone return next week!

Important Beginning of the Year Announcements:
School Supplies: Here is a list of our school supplies for this year. You can also find some on the front door! Ms. Melanie is back on campus and she can help you out with supplies too! Call her at 512-414-1756.
Meet the Teacher: We are hosting a Meet the Teacher event on Friday, August 16th from 4:00 - 6:00p. This year we will have the same safety protocols where parents are welcome to be at school after they check in the office with their IDs (after 8:00a). However, we are not able to check in all parents during morning drop off, so we will continue to have the policy that parents must drop students off during morning arrival and are allowed past the office. This will be in place starting the first day of school. Meet the Teacher is your time to enter the building and talk to your child's teacher, drop off school supplies, and see the classroom! You don't want to miss it!!
First Day of School: The first day of school is August 20th! Our doors will open at 7:15a and all K-5 grade students will walk in to the cafeteria, while PK 4 goes to the gym and PK3 goes to the library. Teachers will pick up students at 7:30 and breakfast in the classroom will be served.
Bell Schedule: Every day, after the first day, our doors will open at 7:05 and students will be monitored by our Teacher Assistants. Teachers arrive at 7:30 and the instructional bell rings at 7:40a. Students are counted tardy at 8:00a and must be walked into the office by an adult as the doors will be locked. Pre-K and Kindergarten students begin walking out for dismissal at 3:05 and the bell rings for all other students at 3:10p.
