Did you know? Having a regular bedtime makes it easier to wake up at the same time each morning—and that consistency helps students arrive at school on time and ready to learn! ⏰✨
Let’s build healthy routines together for stronger attendance! 💙🧡 #AttendanceMatters #GalionTigers
We will be doing Friday Facts about Attendance, first up..
The state of Ohio now tracks all absences for any reason. Missing 2 days a month puts your child at risk for Chronic Absenteeism.
REAL stands for:
Routines
Engagement
Access to Resources
Learning
This morning, we were honored to hear our very own Cadet Mackinsey McMillen speak on 9/11. We also stopped by Mr. Altman’s history class, where students received a powerful lesson on that tragic day.
'Together, we remember 9/11—honoring the past, and carrying its lessons forward. Today and always, we honor the lives lost, the heroes who served, and the resilience of our nation.**

September is National Attendance Awareness Month!
Attendance is one of the biggest factors in student success. Missing just two days each month can quickly add up and impact learning, grades, and even graduation. Let’s work together to ensure our students are in school, on time, and ready to learn every day!

Your order forms will be coming home with your student soon—be sure to watch for them!
As a reminder, all NEW students, as well as those entering Kindergarten, 7th grade, and 12th grade, must be current on their required immunizations by September 3.
Ohio law provides a 14-day grace period from the first day of school (August 20). After this period, if immunization records, a medical exemption, or other required documentation have not been submitted, your student may be excluded from school until compliance is met.
Thank you for helping us keep our school community healthy and safe!
