Gattis Elementary – Round Rock ISD

What’s Happening

Parent Survey

Gattis Parents and/or Guardians,

We are partnering with BrightBytes, an educational data analytics company, in order to learn more about our students’ school and home technology use for learning. We are reaching out to ask you to take part in our questionnaire.

Your participation is essential in helping us form a more complete picture of technology use for learning in our students’ lives. Please know that all of your responses will remain anonymous to protect your privacy and they will help your child’s school choose the right technology for their classrooms. It will take approximately 5 minutes to complete.

The last day to complete this questionnaire is Monday, October 10, 2016.

Please go to www.BByt.es/3P7QP

Thank you for taking part in this important initiative!

School Hours

2016-2017 School Year

The 2016-2017 academic calendar has been adjusted to standardize a 430 minute day throughout the school district, as mandated by HB 2610, which will add 10 minutes to each school day. As a result of the additional 10 minutes, RRISD students and staff will not have to make up the scheduled “bad weather days” if the district closes for any reason.

The following school day time adjustments are as follows:

Pre-Kindergarten: 7:40 to 11:15 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. to 2:50 p.m.
Elementary School: 7:40 a.m. to 2:50 p.m.,

Additionally, the adjusted schedule reduces early release days to three days. Elementary school and middle school early release days will occur September 28, October 26 and April 5. Pre-kindergarten will be released at 9:50 a.m. for the morning class and 12 p.m. for the afternoon class. Elementary schools will be dismissed at 12 p.m..
