Welcome Back to School!
1st Day of School - August 18th!
GCCISD Covid-19 Safe Return to School Plan 2021-2022
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.
Face Coverings & Desk Shields - Face coverings, masks and desk shields are currently optional as this time. CDC is recommending the use of masks, while indoors, due to the rapid spread of the delta variant.
Visitors/Family Members - Visitors are allowed on campus after passing the COVID assessment screening questionnaire. Families are not permitted to eat lunch with their child for the first nine weeks of school. The number of active COVID-19 cases will determine if this restriction will eventually be removed.
Safety Precautions - GCCISD will continue to implement safety protocols to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 which include the following: sanitizer and cleaning supplies in all classrooms, sanitize high touch surfaces through out the day, sanitize/deep clean classrooms if there has been known COVID exposure, sanitizing buses between shifts, and educating students on proper use of and staff monitoring use of water fountains.

Morning Arrival: Our doors will open at 7:35 a.m. All morning car riders will be dropped off using the Blue Heron Pkwy entrance and proceed to the front of the car rider line.

No student should arrive at school before 7:35 a.m.
For safety reasons, only Crockett students and staff will be allowed in the halls during school hours (8:05 a.m. -3:35 p.m.). When visiting the school, parents must sign in as visitor in the office and receive a visitor’s badge to wear. Parents are encouraged to contact their child’s teacher to set up a conference. Also, to help with procedures and setting expectations, the campus will be closed to visitors for the first nine weeks of school, August 18th – October 15th.
Our campus participates in the “Breakfast in the Classroom” program. All students will have the option of eating breakfast in the classroom free of charge. Breakfast will not be served after 8:05 a.m.
Afternoon Dismissal: The afternoon dismissal bell will ring at 3:35 p.m. All car riders should be picked up using the Blue Heron entrance of the school using the same procedure as morning arrival. Please pull all the way up to the front of the line.
Car Rider Signs: Parents will be issued a NEW car rider sign. If you do not have your sign displayed in your car window, you will need to park, come into the office and show your ID to the receptionist before your child can be released. Should you need additional signs, please ask your child’s teacher or the front office.
If you need to make changes to your child’s transportation arrangements, you should send a note to your child’s teacher.
Bus Transportation
Parents should receive information regarding your child’s bus numbers and scheduled pick up and drop off times the week of August 9th. All bus riders will be given a colored wristband which corresponds with bus number. The students are required to wear colored wristband the first week of school.
Bus Services are provided for:
1. Students who reside outside of the “no transportation zone.”
2. Students attending Special Education classes who have been receiving bus services.
Visitor Parking
Transportation Changes
Daily transportation changes must be received by 1:30 p.m. each day in writing. Email is considered to be written form of communication as long as it is from the parent or legal guardian's email which must be on file in the registration and/or parent portal. Early dismissals count as a partial absence according to district policy (Student Handbook pgs. 4, 29).
Bus Transportation Changes: GCCISD will only transport students to their residence or approved daycare within their attendance zone. Students who seek permission to ride a bus other than the one to which assigned must gain approval through the campus front office. Students will only be allowed on an alternate afternoon bus with a campus approved transportation change form.
Car Rider Transportation Changes: Parents, please park your car in a front parking space and come to the front office with a photo ID. If someone other than the parent is picking up the child, the person must be listed as a contact in the registration portal. Children will not be released during arrival and dismissal times. Parents can either wait in their vehicle, or in the front office, until arrival/dismissal time is over.
Weekly Newsletter
Every Tuesday, a weekly newsletter will be sent via text and email including announcements, flyers and important parent information. If you are not receiving this weekly communication, please contact the front office. Our intent is that this system will create the best possible school home connections.
