The Portrait of a Tiger trait for November is Self-Disciplined.
Galion Tigers are self-disciplined, remaining ambitious and driven toward their goals. By engaging in positive and proactive behaviors, Galion Tigers demonstrate their ability to persevere through challenges and pursue a sound moral compass.
Being self-disciplined allows our Tigers to set and achieve goals in and out of the classroom.
Selected students and staff members who demonstrate this trait will be recognized at the November 19th Board of Education meeting. The meeting will be held at 6:30 in the Galion Middle School Media Center.
During the October 29th Town Hall Meeting, the Galion City School District recorded short videos to answer questions regarding Issue 14. This is a permanent improvement levy that is on the November 5th ballot. The Galion City Schools Issue 14 Playlist is available on YouTube and can be accessed from galionschools.org/levyfacts. Watch these videos to learn about how this issue impacts our campus and more importantly, the safety and well being of our students and staff.

At Galion City Schools, we believe in using restorative practices; strategies used to foster a supportive environment in our schools. Instead of traditional disciplinary methods that often involve punishment, restorative practices emphasize building relationships, accountability, restoration, and empowerment. These practices benefit students by improving staff and student relationships, enhancing their emotional skills, and creating a better school climate. At Galion City Schools, we believe in using restorative circles, affective statements, and affective questions in our classrooms and throughout the district. In the weeks ahead we will be sharing information about restorative practices and how we are using it in our classrooms to build a strong community.
Reminder: Tuesday + Wednesday is our FALL state testing for 3rd-grade students. Rest well, eat well, and come ready to show what you know 💭
