Hey there, Wildcats! Please take a moment to read through two (2) important announcements in today's District Update:

IMPORTANT NOTICE! - Families & Staff encouraged to be aware of Fentanyl Risks

G-PISD families and staff are encouraged to remain informed regarding potential hazards and risks to student safety, including the recent rise of Fentanyl use and distribution among youth in our state and nation. While there are no active reports of Fentanyl use in our district at this time, we are aware that its use is spreading and want to be sure adults who support our children are also aware. Fatalities have been reported nationwide from overdoses of small amounts of this Opioid; it is reported to be 50 to 100 times more potent than heroin or morphine. 

Media reports and official health sources have shown that it is being produced to look like candy, and with Halloween plans being made around the community during this time of year it's important to remember to carefully check any and all treats your child may receive during celebrations and outings. Please review the sample news reports and information listed below for more information, and thank you for your support as we work together for the safety of our children in G-PISD.

• Texas Health & Human Services | Multi-Colored or Rainbow Fentanyl
• FOX4 KDFW | "Fentanyl overdoses on the rise in North Texas"
• The Texas Tribute | "As Fentanyl plagues Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott directs state police to focus on cartels"

TOMORROW! - Drive-Thru Food Distribution at Port City Life Church | Friday, Oct. 21nd - 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. 

Starting tomorrow, Friday, October 21, 2022, the Port City Life Church will begin a monthly drive-thru food distribution. The distribution will take place from 10 a.m. to noon on the third Friday of every month. This event is open to the public. There is no income eligibility to receive support. Food packages are limited for 150 households, and distribution will take place "while supplies last." The Port City Life Church is located at 1860 Billy G. Webb Dr. Portland, TX, 78374.

Please CLICK HERE (or below) to watch a brief video featuring Dr. Ismael Gonzalez III, G-PISD's Assistant Superintendent for Business & Finance, and Superintendent Dr. Michelle Cavazos as they share financial information about the school district and Bond 2022. More facts regarding financial status, voting information, and all bond projects listed in Bond 2022 Propositions A, B, and C, will be shared with the G-P community in the weeks to come in a series of video features like this one, community informational meetings coming soon, and graphics released through District Updates and our G-P News e-newsletter for community members who are not current parents/families of students and employees.

Please share this video, and encourage those in our community to sign up for G-P News at www.g-pisd.org/GPnews to stay informed. Thank you for learning the FACTS about Bond 2022 before you VOTE this year during Early Voting (Oct. 24 - Nov. 4, 2022) or on Election Day - November 8, 2022.

PRIORITY 4 REPORT - G-PISD School Board approves 2022-2023 District Budget & 2022 Total Tax Rate

The G-PISD School Board unanimously (7-0) approved the District Budget for the 2022-23 School Year, and also unanimously (7-0) approved the 2022 Total Tax Rate of $1.2103 during last night's regular board meeting. These two decisions followed several planning meetings and workshops in which the board heard reports from our Superintendent and Business Office representatives, as well as a robust planning process that involved every district and campus leadership team through the Spring and Summer months. Among the goals for budget planning was a desire to ensure the district continues its processes for strategic, sound, and transparent fiscal management; equity of resource distribution and use for all students and all student groups throughout the school year; and the fulfillment of our district-wide commitment to continue exercising good stewardship of taxpayer dollars.

As promised during the last three approved school bonds in our community (2012, 2015, and 2020), there has been "no increase to the total tax rate." Overall, the total tax rate has either declined or been maintained from year to year. The total tax rate approved during last night's meeting is the same total that was approved in 2021 and 2020. Each month, our School Board receives a Priority Report based on the G-PISD Balanced Scorecard. This month, the proposed budget and total tax rate report served as the report for Priority 4 - Efficient & Effective District and Campus Operations. Please CLICK HERE to watch the video from the board meeting covering this topic, and/or CLICK HERE or on the image below to view the Priority 4 report dated August 29, 2022. Thank you!

Only two (2) more days until the First Day of School, Wildcats! Please take a moment to review today's important District Update, covering six (6) important topics:

NEW! - Learner-Centered Culture to lead G-PISD Student & Staff Success for 2022-2023 

During this year's District Convocation for all teachers and staff, our Superintendent Dr. Michelle Cavazos shared the importance of authenticity and kindness as foundations for success to practice the values and behaviors defined in our district's Learner-Centered Culture. Later the same day, our team was able to view the new Learner-Centered Culture for the first time, and now it is being shared with our families and community to provide clarity around the common practices found to provide a positive learning environment for lifelong student and team success. 

This Learner-Centered Culture was compiled from a variety of feedback throughout the last school year, provided from various committees and focus groups, survey submissions, and discussions with key stakeholders -- students, staff, families, and community members. It encompasses common themes and represents what we value in terms of how to engage with one another as a G-P Family. It is supportive of our district's Vision to EDUCATE, INSPIRE, and EMPOWER; and it is a guide for behaviors to be noticed, exercised, and celebrated.

As we move forward with authenticity and kindness this school year, please talk to your child at home about what those words mean. Please review the Learner-Centered Culture with your students, and together help us to build the next level of learning and leadership for all who are part of our G-P Family. You can find the Learner-Centered Culture listed below, and on our website at www.g-pisd.org/district-info / Thank you!

TONIGHT! - Meet the Teacher at G-PISD Elementary Campuses! | August 9, 2022

Meet the Teacher at all four elementary campuses will begin at 5pm and end at 6:30pm. We can't wait to meet you and your G-P student!

TWO (2) MORE DAYS! - First Day Back to School | August 11, 2022

We can't wait to see our Wildcat Family return to campus in just two (2) more days! As a friendly reminder, the first day of school at G-PISD campuses will be this Thursday, August 11, 2022. Parents, please consider sharing your family's "first day" photos to our G-P Facebook Page. After school starts on Day 2, we will pick one lucky winner at random to receive a G-P Wildcat Welcome Prize in the mail! (By uploading your photos to our Facebook comments, please keep in mind that you are allowing the district to use them for district recognition and promotional purposes.)

We strive to put SAFETY FIRST at G-PISD, and are continuously working to keep our schools and facilities secure for all students and staff. As we approach the start of the 2022-2023 school year, we remain committed in our resolve to do everything we can to serve YOU -- our G-P Family. Please CLICK HERE, or below, to watch a video message below featuring our Superintendent, Dr. Michelle Cavazos, and Executive Director of Safety & Security, Mr. Michael Thieme.

LAST CHANCE before the FIRST DAY! - Online Registration for Returning (Existing) G-PISD Students | ** PLEASE REGISTER BEFORE THE 1st DAY of SCHOOL! **​​

Gregory-Portland ISD students who will be returning to a school within the district (after attending a G-PISD school last year) can be enrolled through online registration, now open thru Thursday, August 11, 2022, which is the FIRST DAY of the 2022-23 School Year.  Please read the following, important information in today's update.

Why do I need to complete Online Registration for my Returning Student? We encourage our returning students to register AS SOON AS POSSIBLE so that plans and preparations can be made for student arrival before the first day of school -- including, among other needs, student assignment to a teacher/classroom and/or access to their class schedule(s) when all are made ready for release by our campuses. No returning or new student who is residing within G-PISD, or was approved as an out-of-district transfer for this year, will be turned away from enrolling with our district. However, a RETURNING student who attended G-PISD last school year and who arrives at school on the first day WITHOUT having completed online registration will need to do so before being able to go to class. This is why it is important for all families to complete registration online before the first day of school. 

• Last-Year Letters of Intent: Some families with returning students signed a letter of intent last year, indicating their plans to re-enroll / return as a G-PISD student for 2022-2023. This information was requested for planning purposes only, and does not replace the need to complete online registration. (The process ensures that our district has current information for all returning students annually and signed/verified copies of state and federal documents that are required for every student every year.)

• New Student Online Registration: If your child is a brand new G-PISD student (PK/Kinder or another grade level) and therefore is attending school at G-PISD for the first time this year, you must complete online registration for a NEW student. Please visit our Registration web page and follow the instructions under "New Student Registration for 2022-2023" to complete the process before August 11, 2022.

The returning student online registration process is provided via Skyward Family Access, and parent/families can log into Skyward to complete required enrollment. After logging in, look for the link titled "Existing Students Online Registration." REMEMBER: Registration must be completed as soon as possible, no later than Thursday, August 11, 2022, to be ready for the return to school on the first day. Be sure to visit www.g-pisd.org/registration for more information.

THIS SATURDAY! - Honk Parade to "Meet the Wildcats" hosted by the G-P Wildcat Booster Club | 2022-2023

It is preferable that nominees would have achieved significant, notable advancements for students/staff at the state or national level. Nominations can be submitted on or before July 8, 2022 at: www.g-pisd.org/namingform

Same Dates, New Design! - Fresh Look for the G-PISD District (Academic) Calendar | 2022-2023

The official, approved District Calendar for the coming school year now has a new look! Please keep in mind that while this calendar has been officially approved, as always the Superintendent retains the authority to make adjustments as needed before and during each school year. Click on the calendar below or the link to follow to review, download, and save a copy at home, and keep in mind that calendars are posted on our website for the next three school years -- including a DRAFT version of an intersessional calendar for 2024-25: www.g-pisd.org/calendar

REMINDER! - School Meal Pricing for 2022-2023 & School Board Investment for G-PISD Students / Families

As we anticipate the upcoming school year, Gregory-Portland ISD would like to remind families that G-PISD students will be able to receive one (1) FREE BREAKFAST and one (1) FREE LUNCH per day to each student during the 2022-23 school year. In previous years, our district was supported by a federal provision following Hurricane Harvey that covered these meal costs for a certain amount of time. That provision is no longer in place for G-PISD. Instead, your School Board decided to make a $1.2 Million investment toward the district's PRIORITY 1 - EXCEPTIONAL STUDENT PERFORMANCE because they understand that when children are fed, they are best prepared for academic success in the classroom. Additionally, the decision supports families as we transition away from several years of federally-funded meals. This school year, the Board's decision to pay for a full year of student meals will result in an approximate savings of $1,000 per child for our families. 

Please anticipate the return to the standard practice of paying for student meals after this 2022-23 school year. In the meantime, please ensure your child arrives at school early to eat breakfast and also enjoys a nutritious lunch each day this year – courtesy of G-PISD. For more information, please contact the G-P Food Services team at 361-777-1098, ext. 1500. Also, to view what the pricing for student meals WOULD have been without School Board support during the 2022-23 school year, inclusive of inflation through the years (since the last time our families had to pay for meals), please visit www.g-pisd.org/MealPricing. Thank you!

Thank you for reviewing these announcements. Have a great weekend, Wildcats!
