Galva CUSD 224

Had a great time at the ITCCCA Track and Field Clinic in Itasca! We got to learn from Olympic Athletes as well as Hall of Fame Coaches. We can't wait to get back and get started! #feedthosecats

Welcome to January!

We hope everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable winter break. As we head into January and begin the second semester, we are excited to welcome our students, staff, and families back and look forward to a fresh start together.

January is a great time to set new goals, reconnect, and continue building a strong school community grounded in our CATS values—Community, Achievement, Teamwork, and Success.

Please take time to look at the January Newsletter for district highlights and community feedback. Thank you for your continued support and partnership as we work together to help every student learn, grow, and succeed.

We are looking forward to a great start to the New Year and a wonderful second semester ahead here at Galva “Where It is Always a Great Day to be a Wildcat!”

Announcing our Semester Two Attendance Incentive Trip! Please see the attendance details for this semester's Trampoline Park visit. As a reminder, if a medical note is provided for an absence, it does not count toward the 5 days of excused/unexcused absences. As always, we encourage our students who are sick to stay home and rest. Otherwise, we hope to see you each day at Galva Elementary! #AttendanceMatters
