Principal's Message
MAY 2020
Parents, students, and friends of Galva Junior/Senior High School:
I hope this newsletter finds you safe and healthy during these unprecedented times. I am certain that this newsletter finds you with disappointment and dismay at how the school year ended for our students. However, I want you to know that you have been on the minds of everyone here at Galva Junior-Senior High School and we cannot express how proud we are of your courage and commitment. We learned a lot from our time in Remote Learning and my hope is that you learned something new while we were apart at the end of this semester.
As everyone is aware, at the time of the writing of this letter, our future is uncertain. Emergency rules issued by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) guided us through the initial stages of the COVID-19 pandemic in Illinois and we continue to receive guidance on a daily or weekly basis. Our hope is that we will all be back to school on August 18th, 2020 but please understand that “school” may not look the same when we do return. Our primary goal here at Galva Junior Senior High is student health and safety and those values will guide our decisions moving into the next school year. I want to say THANK YOU to all of the students, parents, and community members for your support and understanding during these trying times.
Since I did not get to say GOOD-BYE, I want to wish everyone a safe and happy summer break and say SEE YOU LATER. I truly look forward to filling the hallways and classrooms again with the Wildcat Nation!
Sincerely,
Jerry J. Becker, Principal
Galva Junior Senior High School
