Holiday Sing-A-Long
12 Days of Christmas
Everyone enjoys the Sing A Long!

Half the year!
Students and teachers have worked hard to achieve goals, master new learning and challenge themselves academically, socially and emotionally. The spring semester can bring good things, but it can also bring anxiety and stress as we prepare for testing and begin to (already) think about the 17-18 school year.
We hope you are able to use this time at the holidays to reflect on the year, connect deeply with your student and other loved ones and think about the upcoming new year as an opportunity for your own goal setting and learning, as we look forward to doing the same with your student when they return from the holiday.
Virtual reality
The students have thoroughly enjoyed using these and we believe we could enhance our available technology by providing this opportunity on an ongoing basis. If you or someone in your family will be getting a new phone for the holidays and you would consider donating your old iPhone 6 or higher to Glenhope, we will purchase the viewers for our students to be able to participate in these virtual field trips on an ongoing basis.
Thanks for considering our request and if we are able to add to our current offerings, we'll be happy to share with any of you how awesome these virtual field trips are!

School Report Card
Attached you will find our 2015–16 TEA School Report Card. The School Report Card provides information concerning student performance on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®), as well as, as information on student enrollment, class size averages, and financial expenditures. The School Report Card for each campus can also be found on TEA's website at https://rptsvr1.tea.texas.gov/perfreport/src/2016/campus.srch.html.
In addition to the School Report Card, the more detailed Texas Academic Performance Report for our campus can be accessed online at http://www.gcisd-k12.org/Page/45546.
If you have any questions about either report, please contact me. Paper copies of both reports can be viewed in our main office.
