This Saturday, August 29, from 11 a.m.-1 p.m., the Grapevine-Council of PTAs is hosting an Open House for its Chic Boutique. This is not a shopping day, but it’s a day for students and families to get a sneak peek of the stunning special event attire (dresses, suits, shoes and accessories) offered at an unbeatable price: free. Community members, businesses and GCISD staff are also invited to learn about volunteer opportunities and the positive impact this program makes possible. The boutique will officially open on Saturdays, starting September 12, ahead of homecoming.

Location: 3051 Ira E. Woods (white portables behind the administration building)

Our New Hire Orientations also continued this week. Join us in welcoming our newest paraprofessionals and auxiliary staff!

What a great morning! Today is day 1 of our professional development for all new professional hires. Superintendent Dr. Jason Adams opened the event with a warm welcome, which was then followed by a number of sessions familiarizing everyone with GCISD’s mission, vision and profile of a GCISD educator. More learning will continue this afternoon and tomorrow with a focus on curriculum and instruction. Be sure to check out the last picture of our new professional hires who are alums and chose to return to teach in GCISD.

Trustees recognized GCISD bus driver James Hethcock at last night’s Board meeting. James won second place in the transit bus division at the School Bus Driver International Safety Competition after placing first in his event at the Texas School Bus “Roadeo”.
