I want to congratulate our Band on a job well done. They had their UIL Concert and Sightreading Contest in Wichita Falls today. Our students received First Division (Superior Ratings) from all three stage judges. In Sightreading they received scores of 1, 2, and 2, earning them a rating of Excellent. We are so proud of our Band students and all the hard work they have put in this year! Huge thank you to our band director, Josh Kidd, and the assistant directors for all of their hard work and time spent with our students.

Last week, Mrs. Collins had the privilege of taking a great group of students to Sheppard Air Force Base for the All-Star Leadership Day. They were nominated by staff members for their leadership qualities. Students were able to experience a hands on career fair ranging from technology, medical, fire/EMT, aircraft, etc. They had a great time seeing all the different careers within the Air Force.

We are seeing an increase in use of students bringing their personal laptops to school and wanting to use them. State law and district policy state that students can not use their personal electronic device at school. Please help us by reminding your student that they need to leave their personal laptops and other personal electronics at home. Thank you for your support in this.

The spring semester is a very busy time of year in terms of testing. Please keep these dates in mind as you plan ahead. There will be makeup days following each STAAR EOC exam. Here are the testing dates we currently have scheduled:

These will continue to be updated but I wanted you have the dates that have been confirmed.

Here is the link to GISD website where all information and the presentations and handouts from each month's meetings are posted. Feel free to look over this to see what is being discussed and share with friends and neighbors. This past month we heard from Gallagher Construction about the estimated cost to repair vs estimated cost to build new buildings throughout the district. We also heard from the district's financial advisor about GISD's bonding capacity and general school finance. We then heard from Fine Arts, Transportation and Maintenance, and Safety and Security about the current state of their programs and any needs they have.
