Colt Corner
Celebrating 40 Years of Excellence
August 12, 2016
Happy Friday,
The count down is on! We are just a little over a week away from officially kicking off the new school year with our staff and students! Our teachers are gearing up for a great week of continued professional learning next week to help provide the absolute BEST education possible for our Colts.
I wanted to take this opportunity to encourage you to make sure you have registered your student for the school year if you haven't already done so. In order to complete that process, you will need to go to the GCISD main website and click on "Student Registration" on the right side of the webpage located under the "Find it Fast" section or click on the following link: http://www.gcisd-k12.org/Page/22.
We are looking forward to seeing you all next Thursday (7th/8th grades) and Friday (6th grade) for the enrollment completion process and schedule pick up.
With great anticipation,
David Arencibia, Ed.D.
