The Galena R-II School District uses a service called School Messenger for all school notifications. School Messenger utilizes phone calls, SMS text messaging, and email to notify patrons of important details regarding the school district.
All information related to school closings or cancellations will be broadcast via School Messenger. School closings (inclement weather or other reasons) will be broadcast via phone call, email, SMS text message, and on school social media pages (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram).
In order to assure that you are receiving messages from the Galena R-II School District it is important that your contact information (phone number, email address) be current in our Student Information System. If your contact information should change, please notify the office of your child's school building to make the necessary updates.
