Hello GISD families! For our 2020-2021 school year, GISD is offering online registration for all of our current students! Regardless of whether your student starts their 2020-2021 school year in the classroom or with remote instruction, we do know that we need to have each current student registered. We will also offer paper packets for registration if needed, but we would like to have as many students as possible register online. Registration will open Wednesday July 22nd. To register your student online, you will need to have a Parent Portal account.
