Now is a great time to check your child's GCISD-issued devices to see if everything is working well or if repairs are needed. If there are any issues, please submit a ticket by July 25 to GCISD’s Technology Help Desk at https://gcisdhelp.zendesk.com/. This way the district can ensure that your child has a successful start of school in August with a fully functioning device. Students entering fifth and ninth grades will receive new devices when school starts so they do not need to submit a ticket. Learn more at https://www.gcisd.net/page/technology-services.
