Principal's Message
Dear Bulldog Families-
It was so great to meet so many new students tonight at Open House. It was also wonderful to see our returning students. Thank you for choosing Galileo Middle School for your child.
Thank you for all of your thoughtful questions and feedback about Yondr pouches and the shift in students not having lockers this year. Please continue to reach out and have dialogue with me. I truly appreciate you and enjoy partnering with you while your child attends GMS. If you missed this evening's presentation, fear not! All documents that were shared can be found at the bottom of this newsletter in the resource section. However, you are always welcome to come visit our building or set up a meeting to speak with me or a member of my team anytime throughout the year.
We can't wait to welcome 6th graders on Monday, Aug. 12th and welcome all other grade levels (7th and 8th) on Tuesday, August 13th. If you have questions about busing, please call our front office. In the meantime, enjoy these last couple days of summer and we will see you all next week!
In partnership,
Julia Scott

GMS Teachers Engaging in Team Building this Week

Morning Meeting
Teachers started every day this week in morning meeting greeting, sharing and engaging in a team building activity. Our students do this every day during advisory, too!
