Counselor's Corner
Dear Parents,
Public Service Announcement: I recently joined a group on Facebook called “Parenting in a Tech World.” It’s a private group with a WEALTH of information for parents with young kids. As I read the MANY posts, I cringe because the dangers our kids face on the internet are real. I read about an app called Discord. It lets kids chat while on gaming devices. From what I read, it is not a good idea for your kids to have that app. I would check out the FB group, Parenting in a Tech World. It is eye opening.

The Latest News & Updates from Our District
Registration is Now Open for All Students
New and returning students may now register for the 2021-2022 school year until May 21. GCISD is in the planning stages for the 2021-2022 school year. Please note that at this time during registration, families will not be committing to any form of instructional model (in-person, virtual, etc.). Those decisions will be made by families at a later date when more information is available.
Registration for both new and returning families is now open in Skyward. As a reminder, the primary guardian will need to complete the registration in Skyward Family Access. If you have forgotten your login and/or password, please click on Forgot login or password on the login screen and that information will be sent to your email.
Additionally, new and returning students who would like to register as a bus rider for the 2021-2022 school year in GCISD will need to do so by Friday, August 3. Bus stop information will be available on August 8. Bus rider registration is now included in the student registration process through Skyward. If you have specific questions regarding bus registration, please contact Manny Rubio in Transportation at 817-251-5590.
If you need additional assistance or have specific questions or concerns, please contact our campus directly.
Parent Tech Academy - Parent Internet Reporting
To support strong communication with our families beyond the school day, we are pleased to introduce a new resource available to our parents. Parent Internet Reporting is an on-demand tool for parents that allows guardians to view their children's online activity and increases the measures already taken to protect our students while using a District device. Through this platform, parents will receive weekly email reports summarizing internet activity on District devices, as well as the ability to access real-time reporting of what their students are doing online. In an effort to help our parents control screen time while students are home, the system will also allow for a guardian to pause the internet on a GCISD device.
In order to receive access to the Parent Internet Reporting tool, we are asking parents to attend a virtual information session on April 20 at 6:30 p.m. There is also an online course that will explain the Parent Internet Reporting that will be launched on April 21. If you cannot attend the virtual training on April 20, you must complete the course to receive access to the parent internet reporting tool. The course can be found at www.gcisd.net/ParentInternet.
