Grapevine-Colleyville ISD is committed to providing quality services to students with disabilities. This commitment is based upon the belief that special education is a service and not a place. Each student identified with a disability and a demonstrated educational need for special education services is provided access to the general curriculum and opportunities to progress in the general curriculum.

A team of stakeholders, including parents, teachers, administrators, and other specialists, work together to develop an Individual Education Plan (IEP) to address each student’s educational needs, followed by consideration of the type and level of support each student needs to meet IEP goals.

GCISD adheres to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and ensures that every student with disabilities is placed in the Least Restrictive Environment needed to allow success in achieving IEP goals.

Parent Access to Special Education Documents
Parents and guardians will receive access to their child's special education documents through our secure eStar Parent Portal. Parents will be notified by email when a document is shared with them. They can then log into eStar to view the documents. For additional information on Parent Access to Special Education Documents, click here.

It is important to integrate community services with special education to offer families of children with special needs a more well-rounded approach to helping their children. Accessing community services can equip parents through:

• Education and workshops

• Understanding and access to state programs and services

• Preparing your child for life outside of the world of education
