Parking Lot - Mornings - Limited Access - STARTING MONDAY, FEB. 5TH
We will begin limiting access to our front parking lot on Monday, Feb. 5th, from 7:20 - 7:40 each morning. During that time all parents will need to use the back driveway to drop their students off as only staff will be allowed to enter and park. We have monitored the safety of our lot for almost two years and have met with city engineers, our Campus Excellence Committee, and our student voice committee seeking creative solutions and our safest route in the morning is for parents to drop their students in back driveway each day.
If you have medicine to bring or need to visit the front office, please arrive before 7:20. If you have questions or concerns, please call or stop by the front office during the school day. I would be happy to discuss the safety of your children and the procedural changes with you.
Dr. Cole, Principal

REMINDER TO OUR VISITORS - PHOTO ID REQUIRED
Grapevine-Colleyville ISD is making some changes to the School Messenger automated calling system. Currently, when GCISD sends a phone message, it uses the main district line. Moving forward, calls will come from the following number: 866-264-0350. By using this toll free number, call recipients will be able to place a call back to this number to hear any missed calls, which is an added benefit to all families. Please save this number in your contacts as a reminder that these calls are coming from GCISD.
