We are so excited to watch the cartoon version of The Grinch on Wednesday, December 17th! We will wear our pajamas and eat a fun movie snack of individual bags of Skinny Pop, as well as individual bags of M&Ms. If your child has any dietary restrictions, please send an alternative snack with your child. 

Our Holiday party starts at 10:45am on December 18th in our classrooms. We cannot wait to celebrate the holidays! As a reminder, students are not allowed to go to other class parties. Thank you for your help in keeping our students in their classrooms! 

Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for outside play. We go to recess at 12:25 pm. Temperatures can still be pretty chilly at that time. Now that the weather is much cooler, please send your child to school with a jacket. Please label your child's sweatshirts and jackets with his/her first and last name. That way we can make sure it is returned to him or her if it gets misplaced. Thanks!

You can order a yearbook and create an ad/ dedication page online at yearbookordercenter.com. Our order number for O.C. Taylor is 17833. We are offering both softcover and hardcover yearbooks this year!

Last day to order an ad/ dedication page is March 14th. Last day to pre-order a yearbook is March 28th. 

If you have any questions about yearbooks, please contact Mrs. Morgan - cristie.morgan@gcisd.net

Weekly Library Schedule

Students will check out a new book from the library weekly as long as they return their old books. Please help your child remember to put library books back in his/her backpack after reading them at home. This will help ensure that your child gets to check out a new book at the library every time!

HMH Into Reading myBook

Students have completed the first two HMH Into Reading myBooks. Your child can keep these books forever at home or recycle them, if you prefer. Your child does not need to finish any of the activities inside the books at home. Your child DOES NOT have to keep these books inside his/her backpack. These books are for your child to keep at home. Thank you!
