- Dress for the Weather: Dress your child warmly for winter with layers, including a hat, gloves and a coat to stay comfortable in changing temperatures.
- Stay Visible: Ensure your child is visible to the bus driver in dark winter days by adding reflective elements to their clothing or backpack during early morning and late afternoon trips.
- Stay Up to Date: Stay updated on bus schedule changes or delays.
- Stay Safe: Remind your child to be aware of winter hazards like slippery sidewalks and ice; additionally, encourage them to wait a safe distance from the road and to be cautious when getting on and off of the bus.

Good Afternoon Tiger Families,
Just a quick reminder that there will not be school on Thursday and Friday this week to accommodate the Parent/Teacher Conferences. Conferences will be held Tuesday after school and on Thursday afternoon. If you do not already have a scheduled conference and would like one, please call your child's school office.
Attention Tiger Families. Some necessary changes were recently made to the transportation form located in Final Forms. With these changes, it is necessary for all parent/guardians to update and sign that form. We thank you for attending to this promptly. If you have any concerns you may email or call the Transportation Department. transportation@galionschools.org or 419-468-3432 ext. 11024
As a district, we will continue to prioritize safety, explore the best methods, and ensure that current safety measures are accurately functioning. Friday afternoon (9/1) at approximately 1:30 p.m., Galion City School District will conduct a districtwide lockdown drill to assess the recently installed Centegix CrisisAlert system, which notifies district administrators and first responders in an emergency. This drill will be the first district wide test of the system for the 2023-2024 school year. 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.
Don’t forget to join us tonight at Three Bean Coffee House for the first session of Listen & Learn 2 Lead with Galion’s new superintendent, Dr. Jeffrey Hartmann.
