📣 Attention Galesburg Junior/Senior High Parents & Guardians 📣
Did you know that 47% of all student tardiness happens during 1st period? ⏰ We need your partnership in helping our students start the day strong and on time!

👉 We’re asking for your support in reinforcing the importance of getting to school on time. A few small changes at home—like earlier bedtimes, adjusted morning routines, or planning—can make a big difference. We believe in starting the day right, which is why every student is offered a delicious and nutritious free breakfast before school.

🚫 Please note: Students arriving late will no longer be allowed to bring in outside food and drinks purchased on the way to school. This helps cut down on disruptions and keeps the focus where it belongs—on learning.

Let’s work together to make sure our students are present, prepared, and ready to succeed—starting with 1st period! 💛🖤 #streaknation
