Galesburg-Augusta High School

Families of G-A Students Ages 16 and up: Local districts are working with the K-County Health Department to start getting students ages 16 + vaccinated. Each week we will send invitations with the number of G-A slots available. This week it smaller and we expect it to get larger maybe as early as next week! Why should your child get vaccinated? All these upcoming opportunities mean the vaccine will make students safer: 1. We have had to quarantine many students in the past two weeks due to students testing positive and being in school. 2. Summer sports camps are right around the corner. 3. Travel leagues continue beyond this spring sports season. 4. Prom, Senior Trip and Graduation will be made more safe and therefore more options available if students are vaccinated. 5. Your son/daughter may need a job this summer. 6. We would like to be fully 100% open and no masks in the fall when we return to school. Additional information about the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine can be found at www.kalcounty.com/covid19vaccine. HS parents, please see your email or the link below for more information about how to get your son/daughter (16+) vaccinated! https://5il.co/rq5h

*** Schedule Change *** Our G-A staff are scheduled to get their 2nd covid vaccinations next Wednesday, Feb. 24th. Yeah! Looking ahead, we need to make a minor schedule change to accommodate any potential side effects that our staff may experience. Next Thursday, February 25th will be a VIRTUAL learning day for all students. Teachers will provide more information on their virtual plans. Daycare for K-5th students will be available. It is our sincere hope that this will be the LAST schedule change that we will need to make. We recognize the difficulties that schedule changes make for families & we appreciate your patience.
