Gallatin County School District has made the decision to open our school for in-classroom instruction starting Monday, August 24. Our Return to School Plan will continue which includes both an in person and virtual learning component. School will begin at 8:00 am and end at 2:00 pm and with buses leaving the district at 2:15 each day. Due to limited riders to a bus we cannot allow bus notes. We know the process of reopening and adapting to a combination of in-person and online instruction and a host of new procedures will be challenging. But, as we have throughout this ordeal, we will work together, persevere, and make sure our students are supported in every way possible.
That support begins with you at home. If your child has COVID-19 or is exhibiting any symptoms, please follow all IDPH and CDC guidelines relating to their care and keep them home from school. As we have shared previously, we are following ISBE, IDPH and CDC guidelines maintaining physical distancing, wearing face coverings, and screening individuals before they enter the bus and building.
We want to take this time to thank you for your patience and understanding during this difficult time. We will do everything we can to keep our students and staff safe and share updates with you as we move forward.
We are looking forward to seeing our students!
Sincerely,
Judy Kaegi, Superintendent

Once the day of thier attendance next week is over, they will not be allowed to make any changes. All changes will be completed by 8/21, so class lists can be finalized.
If you have questions, you can email Mr. Cruson - dcruson@gallatincusd7.com
Gallatin CUSD #7 would like to welcome the newest members to our teaching staff.
Students, Parents and Guardians:
The Gallatin County Board of Education decided during last night's meeting to give teachers an additional Remote Learning Plan Day on August 14th, therefore, students will not be in attendance this day. Administrators are working on schedules to bring back 20 percent of each class Monday through Friday August 17-21. The student schedules will be emailed to each student on Monday, and the student’s homeroom teacher will also contact them on Tuesday, August 11, to confirm which day they should return to school. This will also allow Mr. Holloway, our Technology Director, time to inventory every device given to students and allow teachers to have a small group of students to teach Google Classroom and school safety practices which have been put in place. Students will receive practice remote assignments and learn how to use Google Meets. Teachers will also do a practice google meets session with the class. This initial short term low percentage of students will allow Gallatin County Schools and the local health department to gain a better understanding of our county’s COVID 19 situation and look at the current trends in our area before students fully return to the classrooms. The board will have a special meeting on August 20 to discuss the current COVID trends in collaboration with the local health department to decide if a full return is possible or a remote start would be a better option at that time. This situation is evolving and we will do our best to keep our staff, parents, and community members informed. To best protect our school community we must stay flexible and make decisions based on the most current information. . Please be patient as this is new territory for all of us! The safety of the students, staff and our community is our first priority. Please take care, we will be in touch through email and phone calls soon.
