Galileo community! If you would like to help out with our garden this summer, please sign up for a week! Harvest as you water! Click here to sign up!

Fever greater than 100.0 degrees: A fever lets us know that our body is fighting an infection. We are contagious during this time and need rest. Students should be fever free for at least 24 hours, without fever reducing medication, before returning to school.

Vomiting and/or diarrhea: Students should stay home for 24 hours without vomiting/diarrhea before returning to school to make sure they can keep food/liquids down.

Micron Technology is proud to announce three sessions of Chip Camp this summer. Chip Camp is a day camp, over three days filled with hands-on STEM activities. One of the days includes a field trip to Micron Headquarters.

Daily, breakfast, lunch & snacks daily are offered. Chip Camp is no cost to campers. Chip Camp is designed for current 6th & 7th graders to experience once in their Jr. High/Middle School career.

Seeking to accommodating students from across the Treasure Valley, we will host two sessions at BSU, in Boise, and one session at CWI, in Nampa.

For Chip Camp held at CWI, transportation from various Middle School hubs to CWI will be available.

Registration will stay open until capacity is reached. Attached you will find flyers for both camps, and below are registration links.

Please remind others that we have students playing on our field daily. 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.

Please remember that Galileo is a closed campus from 8:15-4:30. 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.

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 check the lost and found for any missing items!! Leftover items will be periodically donated.

The answer to this question is due to the distance between the stop sign on Saguaro Drive and the crosswalk. If more cars are in the que than the distance allows, we have a back up which will put cars into the crosswalk and slows traffic flow. Thanks for your understanding and for following the guidance of our duties.
