FACILITY SCHEDULING & RENTAL

  • Georgetown schools use an online facility scheduling system called FSDirect. Staff and Rentals are able to submit their own facility requests to reserve spaces and coordinate support for events. Requests are routed through an approval process and become activated schedules upon final Approval & Activation.  Service Providers (custodial, HVAC, field lighting, electronic exterior doors and technology) will receive email notifications via FSDirect based upon the information provided in the Set Requirement section of the facility request.  This information will help ensure your event is a success. 

    Listed below are the STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS for Staff and Rental information. 

    SCHOOL EVENTS (Staff)

    This section is for staff members to request facilities for GISD only activities.  Staff members who are part of an external organization need to follow the instructions under Rental Events.  All activities occurring outside of school hours (campuses) or business hours (admin facilities) must be scheduled through FSDirect.  (Examples: open house, book fair, staff meeting, volleyball game, choir concert, student council meeting, professional learning, parent info night, etc.).
