Tuesday Tech Tips from the Galion Technology Department continue this week with four easy tips to help you create a strong password. Tip #1: Longer is Stronger: Create a string of 16 characters or more. Tip #2 Make them Random: Use 4-7 random words. This is commonly called a passphrase. Sometimes silly is easy to remember. Tip #3. Make them Unique: Too often people use the same couple passwords for everything. This is not safe practice. Tip #4: Use a password manager: We all have so many passwords to manage. Using a password manager will help you employ all three safety tips mentioned without having to remember all of them.

This series will continue every second Wednesday of each month. Hope to see you there!
September is Attendance Awareness Month. Did you know that regular school attendance will help improve reading scores by 3rd grade, helps middle school students achieve greater academic success, and increases the likelihood of graduating from high school? Galion City Schools is dedicated to working with families to reduce absenteeism rates for the 2024-25 school year. Look for more information about attendance and absenteeism to come throughout the month of September and the remainder of the year.
