Last year, we reviewed the GCISD Emergency Response Protocol, but did you know that if there is a situation at your child's school, there are multiple ways to ensure you receive notification? To ensure you are informed, GCISD will send you text messages (for those who opted in during enrollment), emails and mobile app notifications, and post updates on district social media pages and websites. Make sure you stay up to date with what is happening in the district by following our social media channels and downloading the GCISD app. #WeAreGCISD
Is your student returning to GCISD for the 2024-2025 school year? Registration is easier than ever since many cells are pre-populated with information about your student from the previous school year. Register now through Skyward to let schools know you’re coming!
If you have any questions or need assistance, don't hesitate to contact your campus. We're here to support you every step of the way!

Please help us give a warm GES welcome to Mrs. Vo who will be joining our 2nd grade team for the 24-25 school year! You can read all about her below:
"Hello! My name is Tuyen Vo. As I approach my tenth year in teaching, I'm filled with excitement for the adventures ahead at GES! I've had the privilege of teaching across a wide range of grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to Fourth Grade, as well as serving as an Academic Interventionist. Watching my students grow academically and emotionally while building strong bonds with them is the best part of teaching. It's what keeps me inspired every day! I am certified in EC - 6 and ESL. I am proficient in Vietnamese. This summer marks the beginning of my pursuit of a master's degree! Outside of school, you can find me instructing classes at Pure Barre, blending my passion for fitness with my love for teaching. I enjoy reading, being active, cooking, watching shows, and traveling. Iceland is one of my favorite places I've been to. I have been married to my husband, Tim, for nine years and we have a zoo (cats and dogs). I am looking forward to an amazing year ahead and thank you so much for welcoming me!"
We are excited to share about the new staff that will be joining us for the 24-25 school year! Please join us in welcoming Mrs. Vierra to our 3rd grade team! She will be teaching math and science and pairing with Mrs. Stephenson. You can read all about her below!
"Hello GES community! My name is Taylor Vierra and this will be my first year teaching at Grapevine Elementary. I have previously taught 4th grade and 2nd grade at a school on the Central Coast in California. I am excited to begin my journey in 3rd grade this year at such a reputable school. I am making the big move from California to Texas in late June to be with my husband. Although I will miss the Central Coast because it is home to me, I have fallen in LOVE with the DFW area and can't wait to experience new adventures.
I graduated from Brandman University in May of 2020 with my Bachelor's Degree in Liberal Studies. I then went on to earn my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential and my Masters of Art in Teaching from UMass Global University.
Outside of teaching, I love to workout, soak up the sun, try new food, hang out with family/friends, and take my puppy, Rex, on all types of outdoor adventures. Thank you all for the warm welcome and I can't wait to meet everyone very soon!"
Happy LAST DAY of SCHOOL!! Don't forget to pick up your kids by 11:45am!
