REMINDERS FOR OUR CROCKETT FAMILIES:
STUDENT HEADPHONES
We are asking each student to bring in a pair of headphones or earbuds that could be plugged into an Apple iPad. For health reasons, it is important that students have their own headphones or earbuds so they are not sharing with other students.
Please send the headphones or earbuds in a zippered plastic baggie labeled with your child’s name or you may write your child's name directly on the headphones.ATTENDANCE MATTERS!
Parents, please click on the link below to review tips to help you and your child maintain a good attendance record. Research supports that attendance directly affects academic achievement. We need our students to be healthy and present to maximize their learning. https://bit.ly/3u6iF0U

Parents may now submit an excuse and attach a doctors note via the school website. Click on the link https://bit.ly/3ojLdSa and complete the Absence Documentation Form. You may also find the form on the David Crockett Elementary website.
GCCISD COVID-19 SAFE RETURN TO SCHOOL PLAN 2021-22
Self-Assessments - Students and staff should conduct daily self-assessments and stay home if ill or exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms. Staff and students may return to school once 24 hours have passed with no fever and symptoms have improved.
Positive COVID Tests & Reporting - Individuals who have close contact with someone testing positive for COVID-19 should report to the school nurse, Ms. Dube, and also consider self-isolating for 14 days from the date of last contact and should also consider wearing a face mask if returning to school/work prior to the quarantine period. GCCISD will continue to communicate positive COVID-19 cases using the COVID Dashboard.

Bus riders will be dropped off in front of the cafeteria.

You will be directed to the front office and your child will be dismissed after the dismissal process. When entering the sidewalk area, please continue to drive until your car comes to a stop. Do not slow down searching for your child. Your child will be where your vehicle comes to a stop. If you are directed to pull into the circle, your child will be brought to your vehicle.
