Garrison Public Schools

Good afternoon, I wanted to pass out a few dates coming up here at the high school since the calendar is quickly turning into August. We will have a registration for both new and returning students from 8-3 on August 4th and 5th. Most of the returning students took care of this at the end of last year. If you need any changes to your schedule you can stop in anytime and visit with Mr. Dangel or Mrs. Osterlund. If you are satisfied with your schedule you don't need to stop in. I'm also in the building this week from 7:30-3:30 everyday but Thursday, I will be here from 6am-11am. Sports fees and lunch money can be dropped off with Mrs. Chase. Please use separate checks if you are using this method of payment. On Tuesday August 12th, we will have a 7th grade orientation. Students with the last name A-K will go from 11-12 and students L-Z will go from 1-2. A letter was mailed out today with more information. If you are in fall sports, make sure you watch for all information coming out from Mrs. Iglehart about these activities. Reminder that sports physicals need to be completed and filed at the school before you can practice. Enjoy the rest of your summer and will see you all soon!!

Back to school letter....

There was an error in days on the previous finalized calendar. It has now been corrected and there will be no school on March 23, 2026.

We have a need both at both the high school and the elementary school for a paraeducator. See the flyer for details.

Attached will be the district's cell phone procedure regarding the newly passed legislation banning cell phone's in school. Additionally, it will be mailed to all families in the district. Please review the information with your children for the upcoming school year. Thank you.
