To our Galva Elementary Families - stay safe and warm out there! Until Mother Nature improves, be sure to bundle up!
Due to the continued winter storm warning issued by the National Weather Service with heavy snowfall rates, mixed precipitation including some icing, and strong winds with blowing snow, the District will use an Electronic Learning Day on Friday, January 12th.
Good afternoon, due to a water main break, Bushnell is unable to host the boys tonight.
Update on tonight's Game: Round Robin Play has been cancelled for the HS LTC Girls Basketball Tournament. Our Lady Wildcats will now not be in action again until Thurs. Jan 18 at 7:30 PM. Please see the attached picture for the updated LTC GBB Tournament Schedule.
As a reminder- There is a question during registration that asks if your child needs a school-owned chromebook (grades 3 and above). Chromebooks were handed out to those students earlier this year. If you still need a device, please send an email to Mrs. Norway requesting one for your child.
LITTLE SPIRIT CLINIC ANNOUNCEMENT!!
The plan is to continue with practice today. You can drop your student off at the cafeteria doors of Galva High School by 3PM and pick them back up at about 5PM.
Please consider this practice optional for your little performers, because I can completely understand not necessarily wanting to bring them out in the weather or not having transportation due to various conflicts.
We will continue with the rest of the week as planned (unless mother nature has other ideas).
I look forward to working with your students!
Respectfully,
Ali Weston
Galva High School Dance Coach
As the roads are clearing and the wind is slowing, basketball is heating up. Tonight the JH will travel to Alwood for a 5 pm tip-off.

The district E-Learning Day plan is available on the district website in the News Section for your reference. Please remember that the school day is from 8:30 A.M. to 1:30 P.M. with your teacher available until 1:45 P.M. Attendance and assignment instructions for grade bands are found in the E-Learning Plan.

Hello Everyone,
As announced by Mr. Becker, Tuesday 1-9-24 will be an E-Learning Day for Galva CUSD #224. There will NOT be in-person classes on 1-9-24. An E-Learning Day runs from 8:30 AM to 1:30 PM. At Galva Elementary School, we fully understand the challenges for teachers, students, and families regarding E-Learning Days. While not a perfect system, we believe that we can provide valuable instruction for our students while attending to any challenges when students return to school. Please be aware of the following items regarding E-Learning Days for your child:
E-Learning Days run from 8:30 AM to 1:30 PM
Teachers will be available by email or Google Classroom to attend to student/parent questions and needs. They will check their email at least once per hour to check for any questions or concerns.
If you have internet/power outages or other technical difficulties, please contact your child’s teacher at your earliest convenience by email or note that day or when your child returns to school. Our staff understands that issues arise and we will account for those issues when your child returns.
Attendance is taken when your child submits ALL required assignments from the E-Learning Day. Any questions your child might have from assignments can also be answered upon their return to school.
Please be patient regarding attendance for an E-Learning Day as our teachers will work to ensure that they have received all completed assignments from your child. They will communicate any incomplete work to our Elementary Office that might result in an “absence.”
Many of your child’s teachers sent an E-Learning Packet home with your child in November. If your child did not receive a packet, please seek instruction from your child’s teacher by email or through Google Classroom.
Again, Galva Elementary School thanks you for your patience and understanding with our District E-Learning Days. We hope to provide valuable learning for our students while also having the ability to complete attendance days during inclement weather. If you have additional questions regarding Galva CUSD #224 E-Learning Days, please click on the link below to access our Board-approved E-Learning Plan under “Parent Resources.”
