📝 After a delayed start today, Grapevine-Colleyville ISD will return to its regular schedule tomorrow, January 17, 2024. We're excited for a full day of learning. See you in the classrooms! 📝


Today is the BIG reveal!!! What book will we be reading this year for One School One Book (OSOB)??
We will announce to students during an assembly this afternoon, and students will be provided with a copy of the book and a packet of information for families!
Here's what you need to know:
**Families will read the assigned chapters aloud to your student each night, listen to the recorded video, or have your student read to you!
**At 3:30pm each day, a Facebook post, Text, and Live Feed announcement on our website (https://des.gcisd.net/o/des) will share the Trivia Question and a link to a video recording of a staff member reading aloud the selection for the night.
**Every night of reading there is a Trivia Question! Trivia Answer slips are in the packet. Students answer the Trivia Question and turn it into the box in front of the office before 7:40 each morning! On our morning announcements, 10 slips will be selected, and the students who had the correct answer will win a PRIZE!
**OSOB starts January 16 and ends March 8!
We know that you will enjoy this One School One Book experience that only comes around once a year! Every family. Every Night. One School One Book
