January is School Board Appreciation Month
Thank you, Board Members, for helping our students shine.
Congratulation Gracie De La Cruz, Gallardo's 2011-2012 Teacher of the Year!!!
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!!
Warning letters will be sent January 23-27 informing you of your child's attendance status.

PROUDLY PIONEERING THE EXAMPLE THAT OTHER SCHOOLS FOLLOW IN SOUTHSIDE I.S.D!
Gallardo Teachers all pitched in for a successful Reading "Peek a Book" event in the gym and cafeteria on October 17. Parents and students had a great time and went home with published books and books and projects they had made themselves. Southside's own Sandy Treviso shared a reading from her books, available for sale at local HEB stores. Students really enjoyed the show.
