We warmly welcome all parents, guardians, and students to join us for our annual Open House!

Come take a guided tour of your child’s school, walk through their daily schedule, and meet the dedicated teachers and support staff who will be working with them this year. It’s a great opportunity to connect, ask questions, and get excited for the year ahead!

It has been a busy summer for GMCS/SFE food service!
We distributed 30,000 meals in the form of 5-day meal kits to many children in the community.

We prepared hot meals onsite at 5 Gallup area parks using our hot dog carts! We served burgers, BBQ, and other kid-approved meals to our community kids!

Plus, we offered hot meals at all 33 GMCS school sites for all children during July. At SFE, feeding kids is our favorite summer activity!

A huge 👏 shoutout and congratulations 🎊 to 5th grader Akira Benally for winning 2nd place in the Master Student Art 🎨 Show at the Gallup Cultural Center. The title of her artwork is Goddess. She won a certificate, a Ribbon 🎀 and $75 💸 cash. Great job to all the participants!

Big News from Gallup-McKinley County Schools! Starting in the 2025-2026 school year, GMCS will transition to a new K-6 school model at elementary schools. Middle School sites will instruct 7th and 8th grade students. This change will help support student success in many ways. As we focus on continued commitment to high academic achievement, we look to student-centered research which demonstrates: ✅ Continued Opportunities for social and emotional growth: Expanded opportunities to enable students time to continue developing those essential skills. ✅ Higher Academic Achievement: Students demonstrate higher understanding and performance on assessments when remaining in a familiar environment. ✅ Enhanced Safety & Wellbeing: Smaller, more connected environments boost emotional and social growth Athletic Opportunities: 6th graders will continue to have athletic opportunities to enhance growth and development. The goal is to give every student the best chance to succeed — academically, socially, and emotionally! We will be hosting informational sessions in the coming months to help families get ready for this exciting transition. Stay tuned for more details!
