Lice Are Not Nice
Scratch. Is your child’s head itchy? Scratch, Scratch. Could it be lice? Scratch, Scratch, Scratch.
Parents, we need your help with checking your child’ s hair for head lice during the upcoming winter months. Our joint efforts will keep our attendance up and head lice out of our schools! Thank you for your assistance.

School Fundraisers
Should you receive contact from outside companies regarding school fundraisers, please remember that if it is a valid school fundraiser, they will have an approved fundraiser form from the district. Fundraiser events are also listed on the district calendar. Questions please call Darla Wurtz at 729-4146.
Attendance Awareness
September is Attendance Awareness Month and as a part of that recognition, the students of Groesbeck ISD Kindergarten through 12th grade participated in a poster contest to bring awareness to the importance of school attendance. Students submitted posters to illustrate the theme “Every Day Counts”. The top three posters from each grade level were submitted to the District Office, and a panel of outside judges chose the 1st place winner for each grade level. The winning posters will be displayed on the district’s website through the school year. So watch each month for different grade levels being displayed.
Congratulations to each of these students, and a warm thank you to everyone who participated.
See the posters below:
2nd Grade – Trinity Williams
3rd Grade – Teagan Gomez
Effective September 1, 2018
