GCISD utilizes standards-based report cards in grades K-4. This assessment design will clearly show students and parents the skills which must be learned in each grade and students' progress toward mastery of these skills. Parents will see not only how their child performs in a specific subject, but how their child performs in each component of that subject.

Progress reports (available the 6th week of the reporting period) and final report cards (available at approximately the 9th week of the reporting period) will be available for parents to view in Skyward.

Through LEAD 2021, the district's learning plan strategy brings students, parents, and teachers together.
