Lunch Request for Half-Day

There are not regularly schedule lunches on half-days for students. If your child will need to purchase a bag lunch from the cafeteria on Friday, Dec. 20 for our half-day, please complete this FORM by Thursday, Dec. 19th at noon or send them with a lunch box. Students will pick up their bag lunches around 10:30 before returning to their classrooms for class parties and have the opportunity to eat while they party before going home. 

Holiday Parties

We look forward to celebrating the end of the semester with our students, staff, and families on Dec. 20th at 10:45am. Holiday Parties are always a fun time for everyone as we finish the semester and wish each other well for the holiday break. Our homeroom parents and PTA have been busy preparing to make them an exciting experience for our students. Families are invited to join us, but we ask that ALL families complete a background check to attend. You can find the information to complete HERE. The process can take a few days, so please do it now if you haven't done it this year. A new background check is required beginning in August each school year. 

Fast Passes - Sign up by Tuesday

Fast Passes are available to help expedite the sign-in process for parties. We will begin allowing families to pick-up Fast Passes on Thursday, Dec. 19th at dismissal from 2:45-3:15pm, Friday morning during arrival from 7:20-7:45am, and again starting at 10:30am before the parties. We hope this will alleviate the time families have to spend waiting in the gym before doors open for parties. If your badge is already printed and picked up in advance, simply wear your badge and present your license as you enter the building. Instructional Hallways will open at 10:45am for parties on Dec. 20th. You can sign up HERE for a Fast Pass. 

Early Dismissal on Friday

Dismissal for all students on Friday, Dec. 20 will be at 11:45am. Please make appropriate arrangements for your child. 

iReady Score Reports

We will send home score reports for Middle of the Year testing when we return from break on Jan. 8th with report cards. While we would have liked to have sent them sooner, we still have students completing make-up testing this week and all campuses will be sending after teacher's receive additional training on Jan. 6 and 7. Thank you for your understanding. 

January Lunch Sign-up 

Our January lunch sign-up is now available beginning Jan. 8th. As a reminder, we kindly ask that each family reserve only 1 spot per month so that all families have the opportunity to come and eat with their child. We have 6 spots per grade level per day for families. Now that the weather is getting cooler, families may choose to enjoy sitting on the patio at our picnic tables with their child for lunch. 

Please remember to sign-up HERE and bring your valid ID to sign-in to the kiosks when you arrive. If you want to sit outside on the patio, please get a badge from the front office that will let you back into the building after lunch. 

EDP Is Enrolling New Students

EDP is excepting new students for the new year! Sign up today! 

Check Lost and Found

Friendly reminder to please have your child check the Lost and Found if you are missing any jackets, water bottles, lunch boxes, etc. We have MANY items that are piling up. 

Also, if you label items it is much more likely that we will be able to get them back to your child! We check them regularly, show them on the morning announcements, and try our best to get students back their items. Names help us tremendously before we have to donate them. 

Snack Donations

We are completely out of snacks in the front office for students who may have food insecurities. Individual teachers may have snacks in their classrooms for students that have forgotten on occasion, but for some of our families, providing a nutritious snack each day to assist their GES star’s performance throughout the day does not happen consistently because of food insecurities. If you are able, please donate individually packaged Goldfish, Cheez-its, or pretzels in order to help us provide that snack for students that arrive at school without it because of the insecurities. This would not pertain to students that simply forgot a snack that day. If your Star forgets his/her snack often, sending multiple days worth of snacks might help. For questions, please feel free to contact Angela Horn at angela.horn@gcisd.net or 817-251-5740. Thank you for your continued generosity and thoughtfulness.

Kinder - Fourth Grade Referrals for GT & Aspire Academy

The referral window for students interested in Gifted and Talented services is December 2 - December 20, 2024. (This referral window also applies to any current GT LEAD students interested in applying for the ASPIRE ACADEMY).

Parents interested in having their child assessed for GT services need to complete the form in Skyward by Friday, December 20th. A typical indicator for a strong candidate for GT testing is a student scoring in the 90th percentile and above in their diagnostic testing or scoring Masters on STAAR. If you believe your child would be a strong candidate, refer them today. You can find the recommendation form in your child's Skyward account. 

Campus GT specialists will administer any necessary testing from January 8 - 28, 2025. Parents will be notified through Skyward regarding results as soon as the district assessment process is completed.

Thank you for your cooperation and support of Grapevine-Colleyville ISD and its educational programs.

Please be on Time

School opens at 7:20am and the tardy bell rings at 7:40am. We begin KGES announcements immediately following the tardy bell. It's important for students to arrive on time and be ready to start the day with their peers and complete their morning routine. Please help us by dropping off students no later than 7:35am so they can make it to their classrooms by 7:40am. We appreciate your help.
