Accepting Pre-K/Head Start Student Applications Now
We have begun the pre-qualification process for next school year.
If your child will be 3 or 4 by September 1, 2012, come to Gallardo on May 8 or May 10 and you can fill out the paperwork to see if you qualify for one of these programs.
Congratulation Gracie De La Cruz, Gallardo's 2011-2012 Teacher of the Year and KENS 5 Excel Award Winner!!!
Attendance is Important!!!!
Not only is it required by law in Texas, but here at Gallardo Attendance is Fun!!!!!
All students with perfect attendance and no tardies play attendance football. At the end of each 6-weeks, students with footballs still in play get to participate in a fun activity like a movie or a dance party.
Help your children keep playing by bringing them every day and bringing them on time. Students--don't fumble your football. Have fun playing!!
Children with excessive absences may not be able to advance to the next grade. An attendance committee will have to review the situation to determine if the child qualifies for promotion to the next grade.
