We are off to a great start this year and have been working toward providing a positive, successful experience for our students and families.

Here is what we have to look forward to this year:

• Dyslexia Events:
• Dyslexia Simulation
• Parent Resource Nights
• Bilingual Events and more!
• GISD Symposium: We will be hosting another GISD Symposium for parents, teachers, dyslexia professionals and community members on Saturday, February 24! Please save the date!
• Dyslexia Instruction and Support: Every student identified will receive the services they need. Every grade level and campus provides dyslexia instruction, accommodations and support. We are here for you!

Did you know that the Texas Education Agency recently passed a House Bill that requires changes to concerning dyslexia services? One of those changes is that dyslexia instructional services have to take place through Special Education. Click the link below to find out more about Special Education. Join us Thursday, September 14 for more information on the changes required by the new House Bill.

Does your student struggle with reading and writing? Have you ever been concerned that your student is struggling with accessing the curriculum? In GISD, we are fortunate to have tools availble for students to ensure equal access to content. Accommodations, and access to tools that support our students learning, is invaluable.

Don Johnston tools, such as Snap&Read and Co-Writer are available for all of our students, and can be a game changer in the life of students and families.
