Back to School Fair
This message is sent on behalf of Emberly Hill, GCISD Director of Counseling:
Good Afternoon GCISD Friends! We are excited to announce that GCISD is once again partnering with the community to serve our economically disadvantaged students. The sixth-annual Back to School Fair is scheduled for Saturday, August 5, from 9 a.m.-Noon at Grapevine High School. This is a collaborative event sponsored by GCISD, CONNECT and the Grapevine-Colleyville Education Foundation, and the Women's Division of the Grapevine Chamber of Commerce. Last year, with support of our staff and community, these organizations provided free backpacks, school supplies and other back-to-school needs to approximately 1,200 GCISD students.
We are in desperate need of volunteers! We need both English and Spanish speaking volunteers - the more, the better. This is a very rewarding experience and you will be happy you were part of it - guaranteed! We need assistance with checking families in, escorting families, and assisting nutrition and transportation with bilingual communication.
If you are interested in volunteering, please use this link to sign up: BTSF Volunteer Sign Up or if you would like more information, please contact Emberly Hill at emberly.hill@gcisd.net.
Thank you for all you do every day to support all our students in GCISD! Have a great day!
Emberly Hill, M.Ed.
Director of Counseling and General Education Homebound Services

Be on the lookout for an invitation from Jamie and/or Tonya after spring break to meet and discuss your desires for next school year.
Transfer Information
Spring includes many activities in our district and the Human Resources department begins working with employees on transfer requests. Policy DK (local) states that an employee may request reassignment within the District to another position for which he or she is qualified. If an employee is interested in requesting a voluntary transfer to another campus, they should complete the Internal –Transfer and Reassignment Request job posting. This job posting will be available beginning March 3, 2017.
Employees seeking to transfer to another campus are urged to fill out the transfer request application in a timely manner. The final day that transfers will be approved is June 2, 2017.
** Transfers do not apply to individuals who are seeking a new position. Employees wanting to move from a teaching position to an administrative position, for example, must fill out an application for the new position. A transfer is a move from campus to campus in a similar position.
Directions for employees seeking a transfer within the district:
- Apply online on the Human Resources Homepage
- Select Careers for Internal Employees
- Once logged in, select the Internal – Transfer and Reassignment Request job posting to apply
Once an employee has applied in the transfer pool, principals will have the opportunity to review this pool as they seek qualified candidates to fill vacant positions. Please express your desire to seek a transfer to your current principal in order to facilitate the process.
