Gorzycki MS Cafeteria Pricing

GMS Families,

There have been questions about the cafeteria and pricing. Attached is a price list. Here at GMS, students can enter the cafeteria line more than once. Which means more than $3.15 can be spent each day. Families may restrict student purchases. Please let your child know if this is done so that when the cashier tells your child they can't purchase something your child will understand why. If you have specific questions about your account, you may contact the cafeteria manager at gorzyckicafe@austinisd.org

Thank you

Chromebook Information

Dear Gorzycki Parents

I hope you and your students are enjoying the new chromebooks. I have seen many teachers incorporating daily use of this technology in their classrooms, and it is very exciting!

The technology team has a few reminders regarding chromebook usage and storage.

1.Please make sure that your student is using the district issued carry case or a protective sleeve for their device. We have already had several screens damaged due to improper handling.

2.Beginning Tuesday 10/15, if students are not using their district issued carry case or a protective sleeve, students will receive lunch detention.

3.Students should restart their Chromebooks at least once per day.

4.Please remind your student to charge his/her chromebook each night so it's ready to use at school the next day.

Thank you for your continued support as we implement Everyone:1 on our campus.
Respectfully,

Whitney Black
Gorzycki Middle School
Assistant Principal

Bowie Vertical Team DOI Dates (NO SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS)

Dear Parents and/or Guardians of the Bowie Vertical Team,


Please remember that Austin ISD has become a District of Innovation (DOI), a designation that allows schools to adjust their schedules and calendars to meet the needs of the school community.

The following changes were made last year for the Bowie Vertical Team.

All Bowie Vertical Team Elementary Schools (Baldwin, Baranoff, Clayton, Cowan, Kiker, and Mills) will begin at 7:40 a.m. each day. The warning bell will ring at 7:35 am and students will be counted tardy if not in classrooms by 7:40 a.m. Students will be released each day at 3:00 p.m.


· Bailey and Gorzycki start time and end time will remain the same.

· Bowie High School start time and end time will remain the same.

This slight adjustment in our start/end time will allow us extra days of professional development for our staff, which will allow our teachers to collaborate on lessons, analyze data, and engage in professional learning to better serve our students. On the following days, students will not attend school:

The Bowie Vertical team DOI (district of innovation) dates are: October 11th, January 7th, and February 14th.

Please note that there is no school for students on October 14th.

If you have concerns, comments or questions please let me know.
