Dear Parent/ Guardian Glen Rose administration has continued to monitor attendance for students and staff and after careful consideration we feel that closing our schools for 2 additional days (Jan. 30-31, 2025) would allow students and staff ample time to recover and heal. We will re-open on Monday Feb. 3, 2025. Please understand we always strive to keep doors open to nurture, educate and tend to the students of Glen Rose ISD, but feel closing for these days will be beneficial to all. We understand the stress this can create for families and never make these decisions without careful consideration for our Tiger family. While the campuses are closed, Germblast will be onsite treating all areas. Information regarding the need to make up these days, if required, will be sent out as soon as possible. Thank you for your support and cooperation! Sincerely, Trig Overbo, Ed.D. Superintendent Glen Rose ISD https://5il.co/36ikq

Dear Parent/ Guardian We understand that our district currently has an influx of illness-related absences in our schools. Please rest assured that our custodial staff, teachers and support staff are working hard to clean and sanitize all areas throughout the day. Additionally, Germblast will be on campuses again to assist with disinfecting our schools. We encourage all parents and guardians to follow your doctors’ recommendations regarding illnesses and when to return to school. Thank you for your support and cooperation! Sincerely, Trig Overbo, Ed.D. Superintendent Glen Rose ISD https://5il.co/36elf

Hello GRISD parents and guardians, With the start of the new year, we wanted to send a reminder to set up your Rooms access for communication with your child's teachers, coaches, and group sponsors. GRISD is continually looking for ways to improve communication and it is our hope that this one platform will assist to fill that gap by placing everything you need for your student(s) in one place. From the new GRISD app, toggle to Rooms in the bottom right corner. Then toggle to the phone icon in the top right corner. Enter your mobile phone number and touch send code. Enter the code you receive and click confirm. After agreeing to the terms, you should see your student’s teachers. If you do not get a code or see classes, we may need to link you to your student’s account. Please send an email to support@grisd.net for assistance. We will need the student's name and grade level as well as your name and cell phone number. After verification, we will be able to link your account which will allow you access. The new GRISD app with Rooms - It's everything GRISD in your pocket Please see the letter from Dr. Overbo at the link below regarding the rooms app. https://5il.co/351w6
