COVID Reminders
I hope you had a wonderful, restful Thanksgiving break. Like most of the country, we have seen increases in COVID in our community. GPISD is doing the following to help stop the spread:
1. There will be NO F2F meetings between now and winter break for staff members.
2. Remember to self-screen each day and call 832.386.1091 if your child is experiencing any COVID symptoms. See flyer below.
3. Custodial staff following all COVID cleaning procedures.
4. The following rules and expectations are practiced on campus:
- Social distancing in classrooms as much as possible.
- Social distancing guidelines in place at lunch.
- Daily reminders to our students about handwashing and mask-wearing.
- Sanitization procedures in the last 5 minutes of each class.
Thank you for everything you are doing to keep yourself and our students safe!

Arrival
In an effort to ensure proper social distancing, we ask that parents do not drop students off prior to 6:45am.
Any students who ride a bus and arrive before 6:30am will report to the cafeteria until 6:45 am. Staff members will monitor those students and make sure they are following all safety procedures.
Beginning at 6:45, all students will pick up breakfast to go from different locations and report directly to their 1st/5th period.
All teachers with a 1st/5th period will be at their doors monitoring that students are following the safety procedures as they walk to class.
