School's Around the Corner - Summer Edition
Colts,
I hope that everyone is having a wonderful summer. We wanted to share some basic information about the start of the school year.
Registration for returning students is currently open. All returning families will need to go to the district website under Student Registration to complete the registration process. Remember, if you are currently living at the same address, you will confirm the residence in Skyward. If you have moved during the summer and have a new address, you will be required to provide proof of residency at the campus during the schedule pick up day (see below). We look forward to seeing you in August!

LEAD 2.0: We need your input!
LEAD 2.0: We need your input!
In April, we convened a committee of more than 100 students, parents, staff and community members to review the work accomplished in the District’s Strategic Plan, LEAD 2021 and initiated the process to advance the strategic plan into the next phase known as LEAD 2.0.
To learn more about the current strategic plan, please visit our LEAD 2021 page.
We are excited to now continue to analyze the data, thoughts and various perspectives that were discovered and presented during the first phase of the LEAD 2.0 Discovery process.
In this next phase, we need your voice! Beginning September 4, we will be hosting three scheduled parent and community input sessions on every GCISD campus. These sessions will be 45-50 minutes long and we will be capping each session at 10 people. These sessions are first come first served. If you are interested in sharing your experience with the GCISD, please sign up using this google form. Please make sure you are selecting a time slot for your respective campus.
If you can’t make it during the day, we will have three district-wide open sessions held in the evening with a specific date and time information to follow in the next few weeks.
We hope to see you at one of these sessions and look forward to hearing your input!
Estimados padres de familia, ¡necesitamos su opinión!
En abril, se convocó un comité de más de 100 estudiantes, padres de familia, personal e integrantes de la comunidad para revisar el trabajo realizado en el plan estratégico del distrito, LEAD 2021, e iniciar el proceso para avanzar el plan estratégico a la siguiente fase conocida como LEAD 2.0.
Para obtener más información sobre el plan estratégico actual, favor de visitar nuestra página web de LEAD 2021.
Nos da mucho gusto continuar ahora a investigar los datos, las opiniones y las diversas perspectivas que se descubrieron y que se presentaron durante la primera fase del proceso de descubrimiento de LEAD 2.0.
En esta próxima fase, ¡necesitamos su voz! A partir del 4 de septiembre, tendremos tres sesiones aquí en nuestra escuela programadas para presentar información. Estas sesiones durarán de 45 a 50 minutos y consistirán de 10 personas por sesión. Si usted está interesado en compartir sus experiencias con GCISD, favor de llenar este formulario.
