Save the date, the Gary Elementary Daddy-Daughter dance will be held on Saturday, March 14th from 5-7PM in the GISD Cafeteria! This year is a 'Black Tie Affair' so we can't wait to see everyone dressed up for such a fancy event! It is $25 per couple, and just $5 for any additional child. The event is available to 6th grade girls and under, and open to all families, even outside of GISD!
Seniors and Senior Parents, it is scholarship season! Today, Mr. Davis gave all students present the first scholarship packet for students to complete. All scholarships in that packet need to be turned in to Mr. Davis by the end of day, February 2nd! Additionally, most students have completed the FAFSA, but if they haven't, we ask that parents please fill out the FAFSA Inventory form found at https://tinyurl.com/GHSFAFSA26 so we can help in any way we can!
Congratulations to our Elementary Students of the Month for December! We are proud of all the hard work our students do every day!
Parents, we apologize for this inconvenience but currently our phones are down. We currently do not have a timeline of when they will be back up. Our front office staff is available by email if needed!
Our school board acts as the link between our community and the school district, making sure that all students are successful both while at Gary ISD and when they leave. We want to take this time to recognize our board members during School Board Appreciation Month for all of their hard work. We are appreciative of everything Jason Prewitt, Chris Daniels, Shane Woodfin, Zack McBride, Chadd Gray, Greg Ransom, and Stacy Cranford does to help our schools succeed!
Work first, then celebrate 🎉 that’s Put First Things First — and Millie Innerarity, Elaina Clark, Aria Shaw, & Beau Crawford did it! They worked quietly all day yesterday which earned them Mrs. Brady’s G.O.A.T. Trophy for being the Greatest of All Tables. Great job!
Over at the Elementary office, we have noticed a ton of kiddos are working and playing so hard they are accidentally forgetting to grab their jackets, coats, and hoodies at the end of the day! Families, if you spot one that belongs to one of your kids please comment with the number or send a message and we will get it back to them! If possible, we do recommend that parents write their child's name on the tag or inside of it to help them keep track of it.
Spring Picture day is coming soon! Flyers and information will be sent home by next week, but parents and families can pre-order ahead of time by checking out the details on the LifeTouch flyer!

Congratulations to our latest Elementary Habit Heroes! Mason was thinking win-win by passing out silverware during breakfast so students wouldn't have to put their tray down to grab it, his actions sped up the breakfast line and got everyone at the tables faster so they wouldn't have to rush to eat this morning! Aubrey used her voice by kindly reminding students to focus while in the bathroom so they could all get back to their class activities!
Through last week and this week, our Elementary students, Pre-K through 2nd, visited local nursing homes and assisted living facilities where they spent time with the elderly and sang Christmas carols. Pre-K went to the Winkler House, Kindergarten went to the Panola Nursing Home, First Grade went to Winkler House, Carthage Healthcare and Briarcliff, and Second Grade went to Winkler House!
