Back to Basics: GCISD Returns to a Phonics-Based Curriculum

Early in January of 2022, GCISD began implementing its first-ever comprehensive phonics-based elementary curriculum resource for reading and writing. The 5 campuses with the greatest needed, including those with primarily Spanish-speaking learners, started in January. The remaining 6 elementary campuses began the following August. Watch this video featuring Superintendent Schnautz and Dr. Ray, Director of ELA & Literacy, for more details.

OUR STORY

GCISD Parents was officially established in 2020 by 5 GCISD families concerned about our schools. Since that time, our membership has grown to over 1,000 local individuals with a shared passion for our district and community.

We recognize and respect the importance of the family unit, and firmly believe that parents should be the primary influencers on the values of their own children. To facilitate that, we've actively engaged with teachers and administrators since our inception, and will continue to do so into the foreseeable future.

Our diverse membership includes parents, teachers, community members, and GCISD employees from across the spectrum. As one, committed voice, we want to restore a culture of hope, courage, and joy within the Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District and eliminate fear of retaliation or cancellation from the mind of anyone in our community.

We believe every child deserves the opportunity to get a great education in a healthy learning environment, and it's our goal to make that happen.
