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.

  • Wednesday, August 13th, 7:30-11:30AM 

  • Thursday, August 14th, 2:00-6:00PM

  • Come to get your schedule, check-out a Chromebook, ensure your paperwork is complete, and buy some GALS gear

  • Contact Dolores.Schaack@galsdenver.org with questions.

Students always encouraged, but not required.

 

NOTE: Electives, Wellness Squad placements, and other schedule related information will not be finalized until the first week of school. While it may be common practice in larger schools to select classes earlier, our programming is designed to engage students in these activities once we are all back together. Families might also see schedules populate in Infinite Campus prior to the school year. However, to avoid any confusion (or disappointment) we encourage families NOT to look at schedules prior to the school year as they are often very preliminary or entirely inaccurate at that stage.

 

GoKid (Car Pooling)

GALS is proud to announce a new partnership with GoKid, 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!

As this partnership is new, we will send out more information about registering and downloading this app shortly.

We recommend that families have alternative transportation planned for the first week of school in the event that lists are not ready until then.
