Summer Movers - Action Required
A summer mover is a student that is currently enrolled with Conroe ISD but is leaving the district at the end of the school year, and not returning for the 23/24 school year. They may be going to another district within Texas, a private school, being homeschooled or going to an out of state school.
Should your student fall into the “Summer Movers” category, please contact our Registrar,
Mrs. Marney Roberts-Nield at mrobertsnield@conroeisd.net, or 281-298-3810.
Mrs. Roberts-Nield will provide the correct paperwork for you to complete, to ensure a smooth transition for your student to their new school.
GT Summer Testing
Referral requests will open on April 3rd for Conroe Independent School District Gifted and Talented program. Testing will take place on Tuesday, May 30-Thursday, June 1 at Bush Elementary from 8:00am - 11:00am. Referral requests can be made by the parents and/or campus staff. If you are interested in referring your child, you may want to discuss this with your child’s teacher. Referrals will be accepted April 3-28, 2023. The referral form is linked below; please return it to Lisa Lackey by dropping it off at the front office or by emailing her at llackey@conroeisd.net. You can also find the referral form and other GT information on the CISD GT homepage.
If a student took any GT test this school year, he/she may not participate in this round of testing. It is the same test and will invalidate the norms.
