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

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.

 

The GALS Summer Event Series is BACK!!

After a little uncertainty with our building being under construction this summer, we are thrilled to share that GALS will be hosting our second annual Summer Event Series! 

In addition to being a fun way to bring together our GALS Families and help our new students connect, both events are free and open to any K-12 students and their families. We hope to see many of you (and your friends) out there.

Learn More & RSVP

NOTE: We're still looking for a few student and parent volunteers for both events. If you're interested in helping, please email alex.jimenez@galsdenver.org or text (303) 306-4707

 

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.

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
