Gallatin High Update

Parents:

If you haven’t already done so, please go on to your PowerSchool account and fill out the All In One Permission Forms. These forms are mandatory and need to be done every year for each child. Call 522-4603 or email cindy.reuter@bsd7.org if you need help.

Completing your All in One Permission Forms before August 18th will allow your student early access to their schedule.

The first day of school will be Monday, August 29th. The first day of school will have an alternative schedule (click here for the first day of school schedule). Freshman orientation will be held in the morning and 10th-12th grade students will need to visit the school at an assigned time for school pictures and to receive their student ID. All students will attend their classes on a shortened schedule in the afternoon.

First Student will run two morning bus routes on August 29, the first at normal school time for ninth-grade students and the second later in the morning for tenth- through twelfth-grade students. You will receive an email from First Student with more details about route times prior to August 29.

Tuesday, August 30th, students will attend their normal schedule (click here for the regular bell schedule).

Freshmen should plan to bring a lunch or eat lunch in the cafeteria on the first day of school.

We are placing an emphasis on building safety this year and that includes our parking lots. In order to alleviate congestion and make it safer for our students to park and walk to class, please only use the eastern parking lot and Annie Street for student drop off.

Student parking is only allowed in the blue areas below, the southeastern and southwestern parking lots, as well as along Annie Street.

Thank you for your help in keeping our students safe!

All BSD7 students will have a Chromebook checked out to them. Students who attended a BSD7 middle school or Gallatin High last school year should already have a Chromebook. Students who are new to Gallatin High should stop by the library on the first day of school to pick up their Chromebook.

As you transition to the high school, your BSD7 email changes. It is no longer firstname.lastname@bsd7K8students.org.

Your new school email is firstname.lastname@bsd7students.org Your email password is the same as your PowerSchool password.

Student schedules can be viewed in PowerSchool.

Instructions for accessing schedules:

• Log in to PowerSchool
• Click on Grades and Attendance on the left hand side.

Schedule Change Requests:

Our goal is to have all students attend all of their classes on the first day of school. Counselors will not be making schedule changes on the first day of school, unless it is to drop a class for a study hall.

Please see below for the counseling department’s alphabetical breakdown for the 2022-23 school year.

Lockers are optional for GHS students. Students, if you are interested in using a locker this year, please complete this form.

Do Not Fill Out This Form if you signed up for a locker last year as you will use the same locker and combination this year.

Locker numbers and combinations will be uploaded into PowerSchool before school starts. Students can find their locker number and combination in PowerSchool by clicking on Forms and selecting "Locker Information".

If you have a locker assigned to you but no longer need it, please complete the form and indicate you no longer need your locker.

If you do not request a locker now and decide you’d like one in the future, please come to the main office and we will be happy to check one out to you.

Students, please click here to request a locker.
