Friendly reminder, Tigers! This week is the final week of ROAR before and after-school programming.
Join us May 4th for the GHS Art Show
Today is Bus Driver Appreciation Day! A special shout-out to our wonderful bus drivers! You are the unsung heroes of the Galion City School District. Your dedication to ensuring that students arrive safely at school every day is appreciated more than you know. We thank you for your enthusiasm and reliability in helping ensure that each student's journey to school is as safe and enjoyable as possible. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Good morning. Bus 18 will be running late today. The bus is coming but it will be 20-25 minutes late.
Did you know that absences can signify a teen losing interest, struggling with school work, dealing with a bully, or facing other difficulties? By the 6th grade, absenteeism is one of three signs that a student may drop out of high school.
We sincerely appreciate the hardworking administrative assistants in our schools today and every day. You are the backbone of being able to achieve success daily. Because of you, all pieces fit together harmoniously as if by magic! Your commitment deserves recognition on National Administrative Assistants Day—and always! We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for having our backs. Because of your dedication, everything runs smoothly; indeed, no one can do it quite like you do!
Join us tonight for a free spaghetti dinner in the High School Cafeteria at 6 p.m., followed by an informative presentation in the gym with renowned internet safety expert Jesse Weinberger starting at 7 p.m.
Parents who attend will earn jean passes for their students for every Friday left in this school year and a chance to win prizes during the event. As a special incentive due to the importance of the topic, Galion will call a "snow day in May" if parents pack the gym on the 24th (300 in attendance). The special day off would be called on May 12, should parents fill the gym.
At April’s meeting, the Board of Education proudly celebrated four students who embodied the Profile of a Tiger trait—Problem Solver. Galion Tigers actively listen to others and encourage collaboration. They promote intellectual curiosity to discover new things. Problem Solver Tigers value input from others to help with their decisions. For this reason, these students: Gavin, 2nd grade; Bella, 3rd grade; Makayla, 8th grade;
Amanda, 12th grade, were honored for their problem-solving skills!
Don't forget to join us on April 24! Galion City Schools will be hosting a special Internet Safety Presentation by Jesse Weinberger. As we all know, the internet can be a scary and dangerous place, especially for kids. This presentation will provide valuable information and tips on how to keep ourselves and our children safe online. A free spaghetti dinner and babysitting for children K-5 will be provided.

The installed Centegix CrisisAlert safety system allows staff to instantly alert administrators and emergency services personnel during times of crisis—ensuring that help is available as quickly as possible.
A Lockdown Alert will be sounded in a potentially life-threatening situation that could affect the entire school. When this occurs, several actions will happen automatically to ensure everyone’s safety—911 is activated, and strobes begin flashing and chirping. PA announcements begin instructions, computer screens and monitors are taken over with instructions, and Responders are notified of the initiation location, which will be viewable on the app.
Way to go, Tigers!! Caden and Hayden finished 2nd as a second doubles team during the Jim Grandy Invitational in Bucyrus over the weekend.
Establishing an effective daily routine is essential to ensure regular attendance. Ensuring you get a full 8 hours of restful sleep, completing your homework, and attending class regularly are all critical components in helping you reach your educational goals.
The High School and Middle School ROAR art clubs have come together to create a unique 10-page coloring book that will be used in the Primary School ROAR Program. This special book is centered around a positive school experience, helping young students to explore their creativity while discovering the many positive aspects of the educational journey.
Some of the students involved in the project proudly delivered copies to Primary School Tigers during their before and after-school ROAR sessions prior to spring break.
Thank you to Pioneer Career and Technology Center's Graphic Arts Instructor, Bill Dichtl, and his students for cost-effectively printing these books for our students!
Galion Tigers remain committed to upholding the Profile of a Tiger—our roadmap for success. This set of values is purposeful: they guide us within the district walls and beyond them to produce successful graduates ready for their next steps. Let’s explore the importance of being a Problem Solver!

The installed Centegix CrisisAlert safety system allows staff to instantly alert administrators and emergency services personnel during times of crisis—ensuring that help is available as quickly as possible.
Staff Alerts are most often used in medical emergencies, student fights, students leaving the building or playground without permission, or situations where a staff member feels threatened. This type of alert only notifies building responders and does not elicit a districtwide response.
Tigers! It’s time to get back into the swing of things—we’re returning to school on Wednesday, April 12. Let’s make this last stretch of the school year our best yet! 🤩
