Dismissal will be at the normal time at all campuses. Information regarding after-school activities will be communicated directly by the specific activity teacher, director, or coach.
Bus rider families are encouraged to sign up for Transportation Services’ SMART Tag Parent Portal, where parents can be notified when their child’s bus is nearing the stop.
This plan is based on the information that our district leaders have at this time. The district will continue to monitor weather conditions, and if there are any changes to this plan, the district will continue to communicate those details through www.GCISD.net, email, text messages (for those subscribed), the GCISD mobile app and official GCISD social media accounts.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we monitored this arctic blast. We look forward to seeing our staff and students back at school tomorrow!
**Please note that this change to the schedule does not impact iUniversity Prep staff or students.
Due to potentially hazardous road conditions, Grapevine-Colleyville ISD has canceled all student activities, rehearsals or practices planned for Monday, January 15. District administrators continue to monitor weather conditions and will communicate any additional changes as they are available.
It's getting cold outside, and winter weather can make families wonder if GCISD has school. When a winter weather situation arises, GCISD will notify families via automated phone calls and texts. The district will also post notifications on the GCISD app and social media accounts. Information will be shared with all major TV stations.
