A district-wide lockdown drill will take place on our campus on Friday, September 5th at 2:10pm. This is an annual event to review safety procedures with all students and staff. Our Technology and Admin team will use this drill to ensure the Centegix Crisis Alert system works properly. There may be extra emergency vehicles on campus during this time.

📢 August is National Immunization Awareness Month!

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!

At Galion City Schools, fire lanes must remain clear at all times to ensure emergency vehicles have immediate access to our buildings if needed. Parking, stopping, or leaving a vehicle in a designated fire lane is strictly prohibited—this applies to both public and private property, including school grounds.
At GCS, fire lanes are clearly marked with red curbs and posted signage. Vehicles parked in these areas violate fire code and may be subject to fines, penalties, or towing at the direction of the local fire official.
These regulations are in place for everyone’s safety. Please help us keep our campuses safe and accessible in the event of an emergency.

From the dog house of Radar... Are you ready for school to start?!? I just got back from the groomer and I am looking fresh and smelling sweet!! Thank you to Star Dazzle Pet Grooming for the bath (not so much the blow dryer) and nail trim and buff! Also, thanks to Doc Shuler, at Horizon Animal Hospital, for the physical and shots. (not so much the shots) Doc Shuler gave me a clean bill of health and even got down and played with me for a bit. I think I am all ready for the school year!!
