On February 6, Galion City Schools will hold parent-teacher conferences. This is a valuable opportunity to engage with your child's teachers, discuss their progress, and collaborate on their educational journey. Your participation is key to their success! You can contact your child's school office if you have not already scheduled a conference.


We are happy to say that the cost of the incentive has been WAIVED for the trip to Snow Trails!
Students MUST still bring their waiver to attend. Please have your student bring in by THIS Thursday [30th].


Our phone carrier is currently experiencing an outage and we cannot access outside lines. If you need to contact us, please send an email or contact your child's teacher via ROOMS. We will update you as soon as the issue has been resolved.

Good Afternoon Galion Tigers! We hope you are all safe and warm. Once again, we will be closed on Wednesday, January 22, because of the extreme temperatures. Thursday temperatures will be back in the 20's so dress warm and we will resume our regular schedules.


It's finally Chess Club season! ♟️Each Thursday hosts a grade-level to learn and grow in their chess playing after-school with Mr. Lehman with a tournament in the spring!




Good Afternoon Tigers
Here is the message you’ve been waiting for. As you know tomorrow is a scheduled holiday to honor Dr. Martin Luther King so there is no school. In addition, we will be closed on Tuesday, Jan. 21 due to the expected extreme temperatures. We will update you regarding Wednesday as early as we can.
I would also like to direct your attention to the Winter edition of our district newsletter which highlights the activities and successes of our first semester. All our newsletters, including ROAR and our GOA programs are located on our website. You can find them at galionschools.org/district-news.
Enjoy your extended weekend and stay safe and warm!

We deeply appreciate the understanding and patience of our families, staff, and community as we navigate through the winter months. The safety and well-being of our students, staff, and families remain our highest priorities. Deciding to close schools or implement a two-hour delay is never taken lightly, and it is not an exact science. We recognize that these decisions have significant implications for our entire community.
Several factors must be considered when making a delay or closing decision. Our operations and transportation teams closely monitor weather reports, sheriff’s office advisories, and sometimes the decisions of other area districts. Beginning at 4:00 a.m., our operations team physically drives through parts of the city to assess road conditions firsthand, and we attempt to make a firm decision by 5:45.
Another critical factor is the timing of inclement weather. The superintendent and operations team communicated this morning at 5:30 a.m. and the conditions appeared manageable. We did not experience snow drifts or ice that more rural districts faced. Our buses begin their routes at 6:00 a.m. However, the sheriff’s office issued an advisory at 7:44 a.m., after buses were already on the road. Attempting to delay or cancel school once students and staff are en route poses a greater safety concern.
Safety remains our guiding principle, and we also consider the broader impact of school closures on our community. For many students, school is a place for learning and a source of nutrition, providing both breakfast and lunch. When schools close, some children lose access to these essential meals, a reality that heavily influences our decision-making process.
As we move through the Ohio winter season, it is vital that all students are dressed for the weather. If students need outerwear or other clothing, please contact your school’s office, as some items are on hand. A decision about Tuesday’s subzero temperatures will be made over the weekend and communicated as early as possible.
Thank you again for your understanding and flexibility.
