Are your students’ teachers using the GCISD App and its Rooms feature to stay connected? This two-way communication tool allows teachers, students and guardians to collaborate on homework, field trips and other important topics. While the feature is available to all, individual teachers decide whether or not to use it as a communication tool.
If your students’ teachers are using the app and you have questions, visit www.gcisd.net/o/gcisd/page/rooms-support for more information.
