📢 Heads Up, Tiger Families! 🐾
New this year. We have monthly scheduled 2-hour delays for STUDENTS ONLY ⏰
✅ Why? These are not weather delays—they’re Professional Development days for our amazing staff to learn, plan, and grow!
✅ Who? Students start 2 hours late. Staff still report at their regular time.
📅 Check your district calendar or Below for exact dates! This will be a time to learn, collaborate, and plan to better serve our students. Thank you for supporting our teachers so they can continue to give their best!! 💙🧡

September is National Attendance Awareness Month!
Attendance is one of the biggest factors in student success. Missing just two days each month can quickly add up and impact learning, grades, and even graduation. Let’s work together to ensure our students are in school, on time, and ready to learn every day!
Showing Up Matters for R.E.A.L. – Relationships, Engagement, Achievement, and Learning.

📢 August is National Immunization Awareness Month!

At Galion City Schools, fire lanes must remain clear at all times to ensure emergency vehicles have immediate access to our buildings if needed. Parking, stopping, or leaving a vehicle in a designated fire lane is strictly prohibited—this applies to both public and private property, including school grounds.
At GCS, fire lanes are clearly marked with red curbs and posted signage. Vehicles parked in these areas violate fire code and may be subject to fines, penalties, or towing at the direction of the local fire official.
These regulations are in place for everyone’s safety. Please help us keep our campuses safe and accessible in the event of an emergency.

From the dog house of Radar... Are you ready for school to start?!? I just got back from the groomer and I am looking fresh and smelling sweet!! Thank you to Star Dazzle Pet Grooming for the bath (not so much the blow dryer) and nail trim and buff! Also, thanks to Doc Shuler, at Horizon Animal Hospital, for the physical and shots. (not so much the shots) Doc Shuler gave me a clean bill of health and even got down and played with me for a bit. I think I am all ready for the school year!!
“It’s becoming official! Several of our new staff signed their contracts yesterday. More to come as our Tiger team continues to grow!”
