Issue #12 - April 13th to April 25th CMAS Update & Staying Strong Through Spring We are officially halfway through our annual Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS)! Our students are doing a fantastic job staying focused, putting forth strong effort, and showing determination each day. The Galileo staff is incredibly proud of their hard work and the growth they continue to demonstrate. Families can support students by ensuring they get a good night’s sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and arrive at school on time each day. Encouraging a calm, positive attitude and reminding students to take their time, do their best, and use strategies they have learned can make a big difference. Your support in helping students be present, prepared, and confident is greatly appreciated as we work together to help them succeed. As the end of the school year quickly approaches, there are many exciting field trips, activities, and celebrations on the horizon. Please be sure to review the calendar below for important upcoming dates. It is more important than ever for students to arrive to class on time, do their very best, and continue to show Bulldog pride in the hallways, classrooms, and during field trip experiences.
