Volunteer at GHS!
LISD’s volunteer program is the envy of other districts across the state. Last year, more than 13,000 LISD volunteers donated more than 300,000 hours, contributing time and energy and demonstrating the importance of education to a generation of impressionable students. To volunteer at GHS, including athletics, fine arts, or as needs come across on campus, you must have an approved volunteer application on file. Please visit the Leander ISD web site and complete an application. We love our volunteers and we can't wait to meet you!
School Store Open!

Need to pick up your child during the day?
If your student needs to leave during the school day, please bring a parent note to the attendance office BEFORE school starts to get a pass to leave. Please note that phone calls will not be accepted to assure your student's safety. If you did not send a note, you will need to sign your student out at the front office in person and you must show ID. Also, please allow extra time to pick up your child during the school day as we have a limited staff for getting your child out of class.
The note should include Student Name, ID #, Grade, Reason for leaving campus, Parent’s phone #, and Parent’s signature.
Students must always be signed IN and OUT at the attendance window. Failure to sign back IN will result in absences for the remainder of the day. Failure to get a permit to leave will result in disciplinary action. For safety reasons, permission to leave campus may not be requested by phone or email.
GHS is a closed campus; therefore, obtaining a permit to leave is mandatory. For more information about attendance, please see https://sites.google.com/a/leanderisd.org/ghs-attendance/.

What is txConnect? https://itccsgb.esc20.net/PALN/Login.aspx
Parents can use txConnect to Stay Connected to Student's Academic Progress The district’s online tool, txConnect; allows LISD parents to easily monitor their child’s achievement throughout the school year. LISD parents can use txConnect to access their child’s grades and assignments as well as view and print their child’s interim progress reports and report cards. To further support student learning, reduce absenteeism and improve behavior. TxConnect provides parents with their child’s STAAR (or TAKS) results, along with their immunizations, attendance and student discipline reports. Parents can use txConnect to view, update and print first-day packet forms. These features help parents stay connected to their child’s education on an ongoing basis.

If a student will require the use of any prescription medication that will be used for longer than 10 days, it must be accompanied by a doctor’s order.
The appropriate forms for both over-the-counter/ prescription medications can be obtained from the clinic or from
