Good afternoon. Giddings Independent School District has announced that all facilities will be closed to everyone other than essential staff until further notice.
All GISD campuses will be providing home based lessons for students.
Teachers are busy preparing those lessons this week.
Details on how to access those lessons will be provided at a later time.
Meal service for students will begin on Monday, March 23. Drive-thru pick-up will be available at the Giddings Elementary School at the north side bus lane from 9am through noon Monday through Friday. Per Texas Department of Agriculture guidelines, children receiving meals must be present in the vehicle. More details of meal service are available on the GISD website.
In the event of another school closure, the district will be offering instruction while at home. Please take the time to complete this survey. It will help us determine technology capabilities as we design lessons. The district will be exploring both hi-tech and low-tech (pencil & paper) activities. Thank you for time in helping us to serve you in the best way possible.
