📣 **Gallman Families — We Need Your Input!** 💙💚

At Gallman Elementary, we believe student success is strongest when **school, families, and students work together**. As part of our Title I program, we are developing our **School-Family-Student Compact**, and we want YOUR voice to be part of it!

Please scan the QR code in the flyer and share your ideas for **three responsibilities or promises** that families, students, and our school can make to support learning and success. 🐊⭐

Your feedback matters and helps us build a stronger partnership for every student.

💚 Celebrating One of Our Own! 💚

Today, our teachers wore green to celebrate the birthday of our wonderful Ms. Cynthia Coleman! 🎉💚

But the green was about more than a birthday—it was a little reminder of what makes our school special. We are a team that celebrates one another, supports one another, and shows up for each other in big and small ways.

We’re grateful for the community and culture we’ve built together. When one of us has something to celebrate, we ALL celebrate! 💚

Technology Fee FAQ
Due by Friday, September 4
Required Fee $25

This yearly fee is required of all students in K–12th grade and is used to cover costs of using 1:1 devices as well as shared technology resources on each campus.
The fee must be paid prior to September 4, unless arrangements have been made and documented in writing.

Why Pay?
The $25 required fee also covers accidental damage for the year:
1st accident – no cost to repair
2nd accident – $50 cost (or less if repair is less than $50)
3rd+ accidents – students/parents may be required to cover all or part of damage cost.

Intentional Damage
Any damages deemed by school and district administrators to be intentional will incur disciplinary actions based on the Behavior Matrix in addition to covering the full cost of repair, regardless of if the fee was paid.

Accidental Damage
Any damages deemed by school and district administrators to be accidental will be covered based on the outline above. Any accidental damage must be reported to the school’s administration as soon as possible after the damage occurs.

Payment Hardships
Families wishing to be considered for hardships for covering the $25 required fee should make a written request to their school’s principal, so arrangements can be made to assist the student and family.

Required?
Yes, the fee is required of all students in grades K–12 and must be paid in full by Friday, September 4.

Free to Focus prevents students from access their own personal devices while at school.

How to Protect My Device
The best way to avoid damages to your device is to carry it in a protective case.
Use it only as needed for school assignments.
Keep it away from food and drinks.
Do not allow anyone else to use your device.
Do not place anything on the keyboard when closing.
Do not leave it unattended or in an unlocked car.
Treat the device as you would your own property.

Consistent Access
The District will follow the below device schedule:
K – Issued iPad for one year
1st Grade – Issued laptop to keep through 5th Grade
6th Grade – Issued laptop to keep through 8th Grade
9th Grade – Issued laptop to keep through 12th Grade
It is imperative to care for the device as the same device will follow the student for several years.

Students in K–7th Grade leave devices at school each day unless specifically required by the school or teacher to be taken home.

How to Pay
Cash or check payable to the school’s bookkeeper. Pay digitally via eFunds.
