SMS Terms & Conditions

Galena City School District (GCSD) is the parent district of Sidney C. Huntington schools, Galena Interior Learning Academy, IDEA Homeschool and iGrad Alaska. All staff of all schools and programs within GCSD participate in SMS texting communication with our enrolled families. 

Types of Messages Families May Expect to Receive 
Your student’s assigned classroom teacher, IDEA Contact Teacher, iGrad coach or other support staff may send regular communication regarding activities, event signup opportunities, or upcoming deadlines. Content will always be private, individualized and pertaining only to school-related correspondence. This information is relayed on a person-to-person (Example: teacher-to-parent) basis and messages will only be sent in relationship to your enrollment or affiliation with the district. (Please note: GCSD’s mass communication alerts differ from this person-to-person policy.) 

Texting Cadence
SMS messages may be sent as frequently as a few times per week to as few as once or twice per month. Fluctuations in frequency will be dependent upon response(s) initiated by the parent.
