    Say 'thanks' to Board members this month
    semifinalists

    January is School Board Recognition Month in Texas. While Board members appreciate your thanks year round, this month is the official time for us all to let them know how much we appreciate what they do for GCISD. School Board members spend many hours each month on GCISD business without any monetary pay, and their efforts are vital to the success and advancement of GCISD. Please take a moment to thank them for their commitment and dedication to our students, employees and community.

    Your GCISD School Board Trustees are:

    • Charlie Warner, President
    • Lisa Hall, Vice President
    • Vicki Thomas, Secretary
    • Nancy Coplen
    • Freda Ward
    • Jesse Rodriguez
    • Vince Rosen

    GCISD/JPS health center to open Monday

    GCISD is excited to partner with the Tarrant County Hospital District/John Peter Smith Health Network to offer a JPS school-based health center for GCISD families. The clinic opens Monday, January 14, to begin providing general health care services to GCISD students and their siblings up to age 18.

    The clinic is housed in the District's former Instructional Support Center, next to Timberline Elementary in Grapevine. It will be run by medical personnel from JPS and will provide services such as treatment of minor illnesses and injuries, routine lab work, immunizations, school physicals and general checkups.

    Clinic hours of operation are 8 a.m.-Noon and 1-5 p.m. weekdays, with the exception of school holidays and the week of July 4. Call for same-day appointments.

    The community is invited to a dedication event and reception at 2 p.m. Wednesday, January 16 at the clinic. Please come see what an exciting benefit this is for our families.
