Giesinger Gazette

Thank you!

We raised almost $11,000 for our PTO Fall Fundraiser and it's all thanks to you!

We cannot wait to put this money right back to our campus to improve our playgrounds, campus grounds, and support instructional materials for our classrooms.

Back to School Pep Rally

Last week was a great week and we finished celebrating the best part of Giesinger, our staff and students!

Mrs. O'Hagan and our staff planned an exciting afternoon to celebrate the hard work we have done this year with our common area and procedures on our campus. We even had some special appearances from the CHS Golden Girls and our very own mascot, Flaps!

Storybook Character Parade Wednesday at 8:30 am

We want to celebrate the love of reading for Read for a Better Life Day in CISD with a parade.

Students can dress up as their favorite Storybook Character and parade with us. (No scary costumes please). Dressing up is optional, loving reading is mandatory! :)

We invite our families to enjoy the parade along our back bus circle drive (map below). If you prefer to take the sidewalk, you can walk around the front of our campus and along White Oak Blvd. to the back bus circle.

We hope many of you are able to join us to read to our students throughout this day. If you are able, reach out to your child's teacher to see if there are available spots.

All reading visitors must check-in at the front office with a valid ID. You will be given a sticker name badge to wear when you are on our campus. Please wear this on top of your shirt visible by staff and students. When your visit is finished, please check out at the front office and turn in your name badge.

***Please note there will be a pause in the parade while the second half of the campus makes their way around to the back bus circle drive.

3rd Grade

CISD Bond 2023

At their Special Board Meeting on August 1, 2023, the Conroe ISD Board of Trustees unanimously voted to put four propositions on the November 7th ballot for a bond referendum. If voters approve Prop A and any combination of Props B, C, and/or D on November 7, there is a 2-cent anticipated tax rate increase to Conroe ISD residents in 2024-2025.
