6th Grade at Gale
Gale is going to have 6th grade here starting the 2024-2025 school year! TUSD has selected our school to become a Pre-K-6th grade school. This is exciting for our kids and families that want to stay in an elementary environment that will better prepare their children for a 7th and 8th grade Middle School experience. We are creating what our 6th grade middle school addition will be and how it will operate. The children will emulate a true middle school experience that will include core classes and electives. The children will switch classes and have changes throughout their day. The district is assisting us with the instruction and operational design for our new 6th grade. We will communicate any new information as it becomes available. If you have any questions, please call us at the office (520) 731-4500.

What Makes Us Special

Gale Elementary operates like a family. Gale supports students academically, socially, and emotionally in a safe, community environment. We are a preschool through fifth grade school, and we emphasize respect and high-expectations for all our students.

Our classrooms are collaborative, with students helping each other learn and achieve. Our school sets high academic goals, while remembering that our main goal is well-rounded students. We understand the role of physical education, fine arts, and music in supporting our students' learning. We also emphasize a well-rounded academic education for our students, by teaching standards in all our CORE subjects: Reading, Writing, Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, Health, and more.

Gale has a strong, experienced teaching staff with more than half having earned their National Board Certification, and all our teachers being Highly-Qualified. Cumulatively, we have over 400 hundred years of teaching experience.

Our school emphasizes the Tiger Traits: creativity, sense of humor, flexibility, responsibility, kindness, and more. Gale Elementary is a Kind Kids School, where kindness is recognized informally throughout the week, and formally at our weekly Tiger Trait assemblies.
