Early Dismissal & Sack Lunches

We will be eating lunch earlier on  Thursday because of early dismissal.  Students are dismissed at 11:45 on Thursday, May 23.

The cafeteria will only be offering sack lunches that day. We recommend sending a more substantial snack (like water, pretzels and grapes) and then eating lunch when students get home after 11:45. We will not be having our usual snack with the change in our schedule on this day. If you prefer that your child eat lunch at school on Thursday, you may send a lunch with your child or have your child order a sack lunch.

Please talk with your child about your plans for lunch on Thursday. 

If your child is going to order a sack lunch from the cafeteria, please email your child’s teacher no later than Tuesday. We must let the cafeteria know how many sack lunches to prepare for Thursday. Thank you!

Yearbook Signing

Students are welcome to bring yearbooks on Wednesday, May 22 to have their classmates sign. Please send your child with his/her own Sharpie and be sure your child’s name is on his/her yearbook. Thank you!

Letter of Intent for the 2024-2025 School Year

In preparation for the 2024-2025 school year, we need to know if your child plans to attend O. C. Taylor or not. This helps us as we begin to consider student enrollment in each grade level, staffing, and class placements for next year. Please complete a separate form for each child who currently attends O. C. Taylor.

HMH Into Reading myBook

Students will continue to take home the HMH Into Reading myBooks as we finish reading the stories inside of them in class. 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!

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.
