Registration
Registration is a time for you to come to GALS to complete school paperwork (much of this can also be done online—more to come on how that works), get more information about GALS and the upcoming year, sign up for After School programs, get your school assigned Chromebook, pay the one time registration fee, and purchase dress code items.
The times below are our registration drop-in hours. It should take you about 30 minutes depending on your specific needs and questions (and how busy it is). Students always encouraged, but not required.
Tuesday, August 13 | 7:30am – 12:00pm
OR
Wednesday, August 14 | 3:00pm – 6:30pm
If you can't make it during these times, please get in touch with our team at either timeri.tolnay@galsdenver.org or (303) 578-6995
Way To Go (Car Pooling)
GALS is part of the Way to Go SchoolPool program, where enrolled families will receive the contact info for the closet GALS families to them... so you can set up carpools to and from school!
For questions about registration, please contact our front office at office@galsdenver.org
Because Way to Go is a third party program and family data is private, GALS does not manage the information shared with families. Typically, Way To Go will share these lists with connected families the week prior to school starting or during the first week of school.
We recommend that families have alternative transportation planned for the first week of school in the event that lists are not ready until then.
Join Our Private Family Facebook Group
Get to know the community by joining our Facebook Group!
It's a great way to connect with other families, get a sense of the awesome things happening at GALS, and it will be a valuable tool for keeping up with announcements during your time at GALS.
Be sure to introduce yourself in the pinned post at the top of the group!
High School Families:
Learn More About Project Based Learning (PBL)
GALS is very excited to kick off our new High School Project Based Learning programming.
Interested in Volunteering This Year?
We'll provide more information about volunteer opportunities as we get closer to the fall.
In the meantime, be sure to check out our various Parent/Family Volunteer Opportunities.
Do You Know Someone Who’d Like to Come to GALS?
We have a handful of spots still available. If you know someone who’d like to enroll at GALS, please have them email us at enroll@galsdenver.org
Have You Made Other Plans?
Of course, we would hate to see you go, but we are to help if your plans have changed (or to answer any concerns if you are undecided). If you're NOT planning to attend GALS, please email alex.jimenez@galsdenver.org ASAP.
GALS Summer Office Hours & Building Construction
Due to building-wide maintenance and construction happening this summer, we will not be hosting our usual summer office hours.
However, we will have staff available to answer questions at our upcoming USWNT Olympic Soccer Watch Party on July 28th. More info here.
If you have any questions that just can't wait (or you are simply that excited to meet more of our team), please get in touch with our team at either timeri.tolnay.galsdenver.org or (303) 578-6995
