Gainesville ISD has scheduled the substitute orientation dates for the Fall.  All subs, both new and returning, are required to attend orientation prior to being approved for employment for the 2025-2026 school year.

There are multiple options available, but subs only have to attend one training.  Orientation will take place from 9 - 10am at the GISD Administration Building located at 900 N. Grand Avenue. Options for the single session required training are July 21, July 28, August 18, September 17, October 22, November 12, December 10, January 7, and February 11.

Congratulations to all of our GISD students who received A/AB Honor Roll during the 2nd 6 weeks of school! We are so proud of all of your hard work!

GISD teachers and faculty were invited to apply to the 2025-2026 Aspiring Leaders Academy. The ALA provided high quality professional learning for educators who are striving to gain the knowledge and tools to be more effective leaders. Throughout the year, the cohort of aspiring leaders will cover topics which are designed to support leadership development in the following areas: Transformational Leadership, Instructional Vision, Data-Based Decision Making, High-Performing Teams, Creating a Culture of Equity, Data-Based Decision Making, Recognizing & Growing Great Instruction, and Distributive Leadership.

At the May Board of Trustees meeting, these individuals will be recognized for completing the program. 

2025-2026 Aspiring Leaders: Elizabeth Spradlin, Madelyn Beane, Brittney Werner, Andrea Scott, Jennifer Schoonover

We look forward to seeing these future leaders grow!

Gifted & Talented referrals open through November 1

Do you know a student who demonstrates exceptional intellectual or creative problem-solving abilities? Perhaps they might benefit from services through the Gainesville ISD’s Gifted and Talented (GT) program. The GT program provides advanced, differentiated learning experiences designed to meet the unique needs of students with exceptional potential.

Gainesville ISD’s Gifted and Talented (GT) referral window for the 2025–2026 school year is now open through November 1, 2025.

Referrals may be submitted by parents, teachers, community members, or—at the secondary level—by the students themselves. The identification process includes referral, screening, assessment, and placement, with final decisions made by the Campus GT Selection Committee.

To submit a referral or learn more, visit the GT program website link or access the GT Referral Form directly. his page also includes information to review to determine if you should refer your child.
