We will get you the information that you need. Thank you for helping bring some cheer to these kiddos.

We just want to make sure that all of our students are as safe as possible and would appreciate your help tremendously. Thank you for making Grady ISD a great place to be.

There has been some false information recently circulating on social media that needs to be immediately clarified. We want to assure all of our parents that if your child has COVID-19 like symptoms while at school,we, are going to isolate him/her on our campus (as we always have done in the past for any other illness), and will contact the parent(s) as soon as possible to come to school and pick up that student. Please see our back-to-school plan (posted on the school website) for additional guidelines in place once a student has been sent home.
PARENTS: A letter was mailed out this morning which includes our 2020-2021 school calendar, Return to School plan, and an At Home Learning form. The At Home Learning form needs to be returned no later than August 18 ONLY if your student(s) will be participating in the home learning model.
Just an update on the first day of school: As long as our PPE materials are in as expected to be, Grady ISD will be code yellow as far as masks are concerned. This will remain the same until further notice. We will notify if and when changes occur. Thank you for your patience as we try to do our best to protect our staff and students.

We will continue to work with the Texas Education Agency in determining how we can move forward with distance learning and related educational needs. In the coming days, GISD will provide more information on school matters like graduation, online lessons, grading procedures, etc.

Here's some news from our librarian, Mrs. Wallin
CDC now recommends you wear a mask in public where you can’t avoid being near people, like in grocery stores, pharmacies & healthcare settings https://bit.ly/2V8o5Y2. Remember though, your local authorities may have already issued a specific order re: masks. #StayHomeTexas
CDC recomienda que use una máscara en público donde no pueda evitar estar cerca de personas, como en supermercados, farmacias y centros de salud https://bit.ly/2V8o5Y2. Es posible que sus autoridades locales ya hayan hecho obligatorio el uso de máscaras. #StayHomeTexas
The virus lives in tiny droplets in the lungs of people w/ COVID-19, even when they don’t show symptoms. We can breathe the same air as anyone within abt. 6 ft. of us. Staying farther apart from people during this time reduces the chance of breathing in the virus. #StayHomeTexas
El virus vive en gotas en los pulmones de personas con COVID-19, y a veces no tienen síntomas. Puedes respirar el mismo aire que cualquiera a 6 pies de ti. Mantente más alejado de las personas durante este tiempo para reducir la posibilidad de respirar el virus. #StayHomeTexas
Toser y estornudar puede llevar gotas infectadas al aire, que pueden ser inhaladas por personas que estén a 6 pies de ti. Siempre tosa o estornude en pañuelos desechables o en el codo y lávese las manos para disminuir la propagación del virus. ¡Mantente sano! #StayHomeTexas
Coughing & sneezing can send tiny infected droplets into the air which can be inhaled by anyone within 6 feet of us. Always cough or sneeze into a tissue or your elbow and immediately wash your hands to lessen the risk of spreading the virus. Be smart. Stay well! #StayHomeTexas
¡Las personas sin síntomas tienen el potencial de propagar COVID-19 sin saberlo! Por eso lo mejor para todos en su familia es quedarse en casa y lejos de los demás tanto como sea posible hasta que los funcionarios estatales y locales le indiquen lo contrario. #StayHomeTexas
People with no symptoms have the potential to unknowingly spread COVID-19! That’s why it’s best for everyone in your family to stay at home and away from others as much as possible until instructed otherwise from state and local officials. #StayHomeTexas
Texas, recuerda la importancia del distanciamiento social. Evite espacios públicos y manténgase alejado de los demás (al menos 6 pies). Si continuamos siguiendo la guía de salud pública, menos de nuestros amigos y familiares se verán afectados por COVID-19. #StayHomeTexas
Texas, remember the importance of social distancing. If you must go out, avoid public spaces and keep your distance from others (at least 6 feet). If we continue to follow valuable public health guidance, fewer of our friends & family will be affected by COVID-19. #StayHomeTexas
#COVID19 vive de gotas en los pulmones de las personas con el virus incluso si no tienen síntomas.Cuando las personas contagiadas respiran, el virus entra al aire.Si no puedes quedarte en casa #StayHome, use una bufanda/pañuelo, manténgase a 6 pies de distancia y lávese las manos
#COVID19 lives on droplets in the lungs of people with the virus, even if they don’t have symptoms. When infected people breathe, the virus enters the air. If you can’t #StayHome, wear a mask/scarf/bandana, stay 6 feet apart, and wash your hands. #DontGoViral
Kinder and 1st graders, don’t forget to pick up your packets. We are here until 9:00.
Common symptoms of #COVID19 are fever, dry cough, & shortness of breath. If you have mild symptoms, call your doctor & #StayHome. If you develop serious symptoms, such as trouble breathing, pressure in the chest, or bluish lips or face, call your doctor & seek care immediately.
Los síntomas comunes de #COVID19 son fiebre, tos seca y dificultad para respirar.Si tiene síntomas leves, llame a su médico y quedate en casa.Si desarrolla síntomas graves, como dificultad para respirar o presión en el pecho, busque atención médica de inmediato. #StayHome
Let’s have a little fun this week! ❤️
All kinder and 1st grade students will need to pick up packets tomorrow, Monday April 6th, from 7am-9am in front of the school. Parents, please drive north through the old bus lane and stay in your vehicle. Personnel passing out packets are paying attention and see you. If it takes a minute, we are grabbing your work. After it’s safe, someone from the vehicle can get out and pick up the packets. Thank you again for your patience through this process.
Before social distancing, each person with #COVID19 spread the virus to 2.5 more people. At that pace, most would get it, and many more people would die. But we can slow the spread. That’s why we all #StayHome. #ApartTogether we slow coronavirus.
Antes del distanciamiento social, cada persona con #COVID19 transmitió el virus a 2.5 personas.A ese ritmo, muchas personas se contagiarían, y muchas personas morirían.Pero podemos retrasar la propagación.Por eso todos quedemonos en casa y paremos el Coronavirus.#ApartTogether
Puede propagar #COVID19 sin saber que lo tiene.Ya sea que tenga síntomas o no, quedate en casa.Si tiene que salir, use una bandana/bufanda, lávese las manos regularmente y manténgase a 6 pies de distancia.Debemos permanecer separados #ApartTogether.tea.texas.gov/mantentebientejas
You can spread #COVID19 without knowing you have it. Whether you have symptoms or not, #StayHome. If you have to go out, wear a mask/bandana/scarf, regularly wash your hands, and stay 6 feet apart. We must stay #ApartTogether to slow coronavirus. https://tea.texas.gov/staywell
¿Sabía que lavarse las manos con agua y jabón elimina las moléculas de #Coronavirus evitando que el virus lo infecte a usted y a otros? Lo mismo es cierto cuando desinfecta superficies. La ciencia dice que funciona. https://bit.ly/2w7TGAJ # COVID19 #txed #StayWellTexas
Did you know that washing your hands with soap & water eliminates #Coronavirus molecules preventing the virus from infecting you & others? The same is true when you disinfect surfaces. Science says it works. https://bit.ly/2w7TGAJ #COVID19 #txed #StayWellTexas
Practica el distanciamiento social
Para prevenir la propagación de COVID-19 en nuestra comunidad, practique el distanciamiento social:
• Evite salir en público
• Cuando esté en público, mantenga una distancia de seis pies entre usted y los demás.
• Seguir las recomendaciones de los funcionarios locales y estatales.

We are still planning on delivering popcorn that was ordered through the AR fundraiser, but it will be delayed until further notice.
Parents with students in grades K-5 may pick up their students packets on Monday March 29 at two different times. Either 7:00am-9:00 am or 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. Pickup will be in the old bus lane in front of the school. We ask that everyone remain in your car. When you get to the table in front of the front entrance you will be waited on and instructions given at that time. I encourage each of you communicate with your child’s teacher through email if you have any questions. We appreciate hour patience and flexibility
