This is an important time of year for your student’s learning. Please make every effort to arrive early so that your student doesn’t miss important work.

With the cold or rainy weather more people come through our car line in the mornings. On cold mornings we open the front foyer for students to stay warm until 7:25 am when they are released to go to class. If your student is not dropped off by 7:35 am there is a good chance that they will be late to class and miss important learning.

Tips for morning drop off, that will also help our line move faster:

• Arrive to campus by 7:30 am so you can get through the car line and your student to class on time.

• As you approach campus, have your student gather their things and be ready to get out when it is their turn.

• For safety reasons, students should only get out on the passenger side of the car.

• Prepare and pack bags before your child goes to bed each night.

Happy New Year! GCISD is hosting a Parent University series every other Monday evening at 121 Community Church this semester. There will be childcare, snacks, and door prizes (thanks to Church at the Cross and First Baptist Grapevine for the donations and 121 Community Church for providing the space and childcare)! Our next session will meet Monday, January 23rd at 5:30 PM, and the topic is Establishing Authority as a Parent. You can register HERE (register early because childcare fills up!) and see more details about this parenting series HERE. If you have any questions, please reach out to Sarah Burey at sarah.burey@gcisd.net.

Come have breakfast with your kids. Bring your own or purchase from the Cafeteria. RSVP so that we know you are coming and how much to prepare. Follow this link to RSVP: bit.ly/bcedadclub

Are you a parent looking to stay informed about your child's technology use at school and at home? Look no further than the GCISD Parent Tech Academy! Our next session is at the PDEC on February 22nd, at 6:30pm. At the Parent Tech Academy, we will go over how to access parent weekly emails, your children’s internet history, and even how-to pause the internet on school issued devices after school hours. We will also have a Q&A about raising kids in a digital world.

Join us for the Parent Tech Academy and learn how to be better informed on your child's technology use.
