All Things Back to School
We are so excited to have our students back on campus! You can now view first day photos from today online.
Here are a few things to help you prepare for the start of the school year:
Student enrollment for new AND returning students is open.
Visit www.georgetownisd.org/enrollatGISD to enroll or update your enrollment information.
School supply lists for elementary and middle schools are posted on our website.
Need school supplies? We’ve got you covered. Talk to your campus counselor, and they will get you set up with what you need.
Campus back to school events this week for things like schedule pick-up, meet the teacher, orientations and camps, are posted on our website.
Wondering what school hours look like? You’ll find them online at www.georgetownisd.org/schoolhours for all campuses.
Need to catch a ride? Students eligible for bus transportation received their bus route and schedule this week. You can learn more about transportation, who is eligible and what our protocols are for releasing pre-K students at the end of the day on our website.
Whether you have a student in pre-K or a senior in high school, we want you to know that safety and security are always a priority in GISD. Throughout the summer, our teams have been reviewing our safety protocols, conducting door audits, and working with our school resource officers and the district’s safety committee to review and refine our practices. Campus staff are undergoing training and our students will join us in practicing safety drills once the school year begins. In fact, one of our practices in GISD is to conduct more than the required number of safety drills each year.
Student and staff safety is important, and we want our campus visitors to feel safe on our campuses as well. You can help with that when visiting our facilities by:
Entering through the designated main entry points
Have your driver's license or other valid ID handy to scan into our Raptor system
Wear your name budge during your visit so that staff know you have permission to be there.
And sign out when you leave the campus.
You can visit our safety website to learn what our teams are doing to ensure our facilities are safe. There, you can also “meet” our team of school resource officers, view our school safety and security flyer in English or Spanish, learn about our emergency response procedures and more.
The district has posted updated COVID protocols for staff and students for the 2022-23 school year following updated guidance from the CDC and Department of State Health Services in Texas.
COVID-positive individuals should isolate for 5 days before returning to work or school. Families should notify their child’s campus nurse and staff should report using the Employee Reporting Form.
We are not requiring isolation for those who may have come in contact with a COVID-positive individual, but do ask that you monitor symptoms and follow our wellness guidelines for reporting to work or school:
Stay home if you experience flu-like symptoms such as a fever greater than 100°F, sore throat, cough, body aches, vomiting or diarrhea until you are fever-free or without signs of a fever for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication.
The GISD Health and Wellness Center can help your student get ready for back to school with required immunizations, physicals, and more. This is provided as service for all staff, students and their immediate families in GISD to access quick healthcare at affordable rates.
You can expedite service by pre-registering you or your child’s information. Forms are available on our website and at the clinic site.
