GIS Families...please go to https://ybpay.lifetouch.com and use School Code: 14489923 to not miss out on your child getting their 2022-2023 yearbook. They are $20.00 with out any extras. There will be class composites for each class and candids from events and clubs in the building.

The deadline is March 17th!
As a district, we will continue to prioritize safety, explore the best methods, and ensure that current safety measures are accurately functioning. Tomorrow afternoon (3/15) at approximately 1:30 p.m., Galion City School District will conduct a districtwide lockdown drill to assess the newly installed Centegix CrisisAlert system. This drill will be the second district wide test of the system, which also notifies local first responders. The Galion Police Department will participate in the exercise to ensure the communication is received and dispatched properly.
Practicing the procedures and systems we have in place ensures that they work as they should. We will continue to communicate with families regarding safety practices and updates to our procedures.
The Galion City Schools will be on a 2-hour delay today, March 14, 2023. Please remember that there will be no ROAR and no breakfast this morning. Be safe, Tigers!

Last week our fifth graders in Ms. Prince and Ms. Showecker's classes created their own "shops" where they sold paper products to their classmates. This project was part of the economics module where they learned about economic decisions and markets.
Two of our fifth graders, Dominic Blue and Gage Robinett, were enjoying a lively game of chess during their library special. Mr. Lehman also teaches students after school on Thursdays how to play the game, so if you visit our school you may find more students during library participating in this game.
On Friday, January 6th, our 3rd grade students who earned the 2nd quarter PBIS incentive for following the 3 R's (Being Respectful, Ready, and Responsible) of our PBIS program were able to attend the Tiger's Den. They had a great time skating, hanging out with friends, and playing games. Our next quarterly incentive for 3rd quarter will be bowling.
