Please read the following updates:
It is advised that your child bring one or two screw top water bottles to school daily. We will have water jugs for teachers to fill up students' water bottles but following ISBE and IDPH guidance, the water fountains will be inaccessible.
Parents of students who are remote learning: If you are wanting to pick up meals for your child please call daily by 8:30 am to place an order. If you have more than one child in multiple buildings you may call just one of the buildings.
Parents of JH and HS students remote learning. If you were unable to attend Open House to pick up your child’s schedule you may come to the high school before 3:00pm today to pick up the schedule.
JH baseball/softball spectators: IDPH has made it mandatory that all spectators wear face coverings.
Just a reminder that everyone attending open house must wear a mask. Please only one parent/guardian per student.
Open House Information
We are putting together a Virtual Open House for parents who are unable attend in-person next week. The plan for this is to present the same information about using Google Classroom and prepare parents for remote learning as the teachers will do for Open House next week. If you have specific questions for your child's teacher you can contact them to set up a phone conference or other alternative meeting next week. If you have more than one child in the district you can attend any one of your children's sessions at Open House and contact the other teachers with any specific questions when the session is over or through email.

Galatia schools are in the process of transitioning our student management system from INOW to Teacherease. This week we were able to input students into the new system. Class lists for the grade school and schedules for JH/HS students will be ready very soon for those students who have registration papers turned in. We will post more information on how those lists and schedules will be dispersed when they are ready. We will have information sheets available at Open House with login information for parents.
