G-A Families, We Want to Hear From You!🐏

Galesburg-Augusta Community Schools is asking families to complete our Family Engagement Survey! Your honest feedback helps us celebrate what’s going well and identify areas where we can improve communication, school culture, student and family support, and the overall G-A experience.

The survey is anonymous, and your input helps guide our goals and next steps as a district. We’ll share this survey each fall and spring to track our progress and see how we’re making a difference for G-A families.

📝Click here to complete survey!

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and help us continue to grow together. Your voice matters, G-A!

We’re just a week away from the May 2026 bond vote!

The bond, if approved, would provide funds for several critical infrastructure updates. One such update is roofing needs. The district currently manages multiple leaks in several buildings. The bond proposal includes the replacement of more than 130,000 square feet of roofing at the Primary, Middle, and High Schools. Don’t forget to vote on Tuesday, May 5!
