Water bottles and Chromebooks
Water and Chromebooks do not mix. Please have your child carry his/her water bottle instead of placing it in the backpack or bring an empty water bottle and fill it in the morning at one of our refill stations. We appreciate your help.
Please help your child get into the daily routine of charging his/her Chromebook.
Absences/Ride Changes
If your child is going to be absent for any reason, please be sure to email your child's teacher, Ms. Paola, and Nurse Katy. It's important for all of these staff members to be contacted in order for your child's attendance to be entered in correctly in Skyward. Thank you so much for emailing paola.cervantes@gcisd.net and katy.faught@gcisd.net along with your child's teacher each time your child is absent from school.
When making ride changes, picking up students for appointments and absences, please email both Gene Guinane (gene.guinane@gcisd.net) and Paola Cervantes (paola.cervantes@gcisd.net) in case one of them is out of the office.

Please be sure that your child eats a good breakfast before school. We start our day as soon as they walk in the door. Please send a small (peanut-free) snack and refillable water bottle with your child each morning.
Headphones/Earbuds
Please be sure your child has either a working set of earbuds or headphones that plug into the Chromebook and can be left at school. We need them for the work that we do with technology. Thank you in advance.
