GALLOWAY STUDENTS HAVE THE BEST MANNERS!

Smart students with excellent manners...have become the gold standard of a Galloway student. From the moment you enter the school you will witness good manners in action! Students greet adults with a hearty and warm "Good Morning!" or "Good Afternoon!", and address each adult by their appropriate title. If you hang out with us long enough, you will observee at least 35 other manners or rules of engagement of a Galloway student.

Each nine weeks, teachers and students at every grade level introduce and reinforce a "weekly" manner or rule to discuss and practice throughout the year. Take a look at the list of manners that will be developed in each student throughout the school year.
