Students will be able to eat breakfast in the classroom if they choose. Tomorrow will run on a half day dismissal with staggered dismissal times between 11:15-11:30. Lunch will not be served tomorrow. Friday and all next week will run on an early dismissal with staggered dismissal times between 1:45-2:00. As we did last year, the water fountains will be closed. Please send a water bottle with your child. Galatia schools have had to decrease a bus route this school year. Routes have changed a little and town pick ups have been reduced to a few established bus stops in order to adjust. Please be patient with us for the first week or so as we work as we work through this. Just a reminder, as per governor mandate, all students/staff/visitors in the school building and on school transportation will be required to wear a mask.

This is just a reminder that open house is tomorrow night from 5:00 till 6:30. We look forward to seeing all of our students back in the buildings.

David Morse from Country Companies will be at the Galatia Elementary School during Open House between 5:00-6:30 p.m. For every insurance quote, review, or referral he will donate $25.00 towards the Elementary School Scoreboard Fund.

Galatia Pre-K Our plan is to begin class on Monday, August 16, 2021. Our grant requires us to make home visits but do to the current outbreaks being reported, we are making home visit phone calls to everyone this Wednesday-Friday, instead of physical home visits. I do not have class lists at home, but I will be returning to school on Wednesday if you wish to call me then. If you requested a certain class, I did my best to accommodate you. PreK will be participating in the open house Wednesday as well, so please feel free to stop by, see the classroom, bring supplies, etc. Ms. Laura and I are looking forward to a wonderful year!! Thank you all!! Ms. Lisa
