Hello 7th Grade Families,
I am reaching out to inform you of an informational parent meeting that will occur on Thursday, February 13, 2025, at 6:00 PM in the Jr/Sr HS Library. At this meeting, we will discuss the 2026 Washington D.C./Williamsburg/Virginia Beach Trip for current 7th Graders. This trip is scheduled to occur from June 7, 2026 - June 13, 2026. The topics will focus on cost, payments, and security. This is always an epic trip and a great tradition at Galva Junior High! We hope to continue our history of amazing travel opportunities for our students.
Please plan to attend if your child is interested in traveling in the summer of 2026. Students are not required to attend but are welcome to attend with a parent/guardian.

Good Morning.
Unfortunately, road conditions have not improved on our country roads as expected by our bus release time. As a result and in the sake of safety for all, our late start, in-person, is canceled, and we will switch to an E-Learning Day beginning at 10 A.M. Please refer to E-Learning Plan procedures for details. We will use our 10 A.M. to 3 P.M. time slotted for today. After-school events will be decided later in the day. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause today. Please remain safe.
Good Morning. Due to the light glaze on the untreated roads during early morning travel, the District will be on a two-hour delay. School will start at 10 A.M. There will be no morning Pre-K or breakfast served. There will be hot lunch scheduled at regular times.
