Gallatin High Update

Just a reminder that we'll have a secure in place and lockdown drill this week. If you would like additional information about the Lockdown/Secure in Place procedure, please go to our school website (https://ghs.bsd7.org) and under the Parent tab, click on “Important Links” and then “School Safety and Security”. Then, you will click on “Drills and Emergency Manual” to access Lockdown/Secure in Place Parent information as well as Tips for Talking With Your Child About Lockdown/Secure in Place Drills.

It is important to be aware that the Fire Lane (Raptor Way/bus lane) is a Fire Lane at all times, regardless of whether or not school is in session. We understand this lane is a convenient place to park in the evening and during weekend events, but please always use regular parking if you are going to be leaving your vehicle and are not just picking up a student. It is important that emergency vehicles always have access to the building through this lane.

If you are coordinating any after hours events, please communicate this with your group. Thanks for your help!

Project Connect is committed to the idea of supporting our students, partnering with educators, and promoting a positive campus environment. Project Connect helps foster a sense of belonging that is a benefit to all.

It only takes a half hour to an hour at a time and you can pick times that are conducive to your schedule. If you are interested, you can find more information on the website, you can sign up here or you can contact GHS Project Connect at gallatinhighprojectconnect@gmail.com

Raptor Bands is putting together an in-person 5K run/walk fundraiser on Saturday, May 20th!

Whether you can attend or not, please help spread the word!

Here is the sign up link.
