Student Password Reset
Updating and managing passwords is a critical step in helping to ensure GCISD is protected against cyber threats and our students’ information is safe. On February 22nd, 3rd through 5th grade Bear Creek students will complete a digital citizenship lesson. During this cybersecurity lesson, students will change their Classlink password to a strong password. They will also set up recovery questions and answers in case they forget their password in the future.

Elementary Growth and Development
Dear Fourth and Fifth Grade Parents,
On the Thursday and Friday before Spring Break during Specials, all elementary campuses will be viewing growth and development videos.
On Thursday, March 7, 2024, the fourth-grade girls will watch “Just Around the Corner.”
The content of the film introduces puberty and the physical changes that occur. This film is presented to all fourth-grade girls on each campus as part of the district-approved health curriculum. We have many more girls with early onset of menses making the need for an earlier introduction necessary. The girls will view the film as a group and the campus nurse will lead a discussion afterwards.
On Thursday, March 7, 2024, the fifth grade girls will see their video entitled “Growing Up for Girls.”
On Friday, March 8, 2024, the fifth-grade boys will see their video entitled “Growing Up for Boys.”
These straightforward videos present basic information about male and female reproductive anatomy and functioning and the physical and psychological changes that are a normal part of growing up. "Growing Up For Girls" takes a realistic look at the responsibilities of adulthood and promotes dialogue with trusted adults, promoting self-confidence as girls face the challenges of change and growth. "Growing Up For Boys" provides advice on health, hygiene, and good grooming. It points to sources of reliable information and fosters the self-esteem that comes with accepting new responsibilities. This program is presented to all 5th graders on each campus as part of the district-approved health curriculum.
