YMCA enrolling for after-school care starting Sept. 10
The Y Afterschool program will return when in-person learning begins on September 10. For more information or to enroll visit the YMCA website at www.ymcagwc.org or view the attached flyer.
Internet Hotspots and Devices for Remote Learning
We want to remind families that you only need a hotspot if you don’t otherwise have internet at home, and that each hotspot can serve multiple devices. If you have more than one student in your household, each one does not need an independent hotspot to connect to the internet. We need families who already have internet access or who checked out more than one hotspot to return them to their home campus so they can be checked out to families who do not otherwise have connectivity.
Board Briefs
Board Briefs are monthly, high-level updates following regularly scheduled meetings of the GISD Board of Trustees. They are also posted on our website.

From the Texas Science Education Foundation: Safer Teenage Drivers - a Study for Teens and Parents
The Texas Science Education Foundation, collaborating with Johns Hopkins University, is looking for 100 GISD learner permit stage students to conduct an initial monitoring study of teenagers using smartphone-based software. The purpose of this study is to make teenagers safer drivers by developing tools to use as they learn how to drive. Teenagers with a learner’s permit and their parents are eligible to enroll. Parents and teens can earn a combined $150 in gift cards for participating in this study! Click on this link to learn more and see if you are eligible: https://is.gd/hopkinslogbook or contact Mike Douglas mdouglas@texasscienceeducation.org to learn more. This study is funded by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
From the Georgetown Complete Count Committee: 2020 Census
Our community is growing and some of our new families may have been missed by the Census flyers that were mailed in the spring. If you didn’t receive an official Census invitation, it’s not too late to take the 2020 Census! Your participation helps inform how important federal money is spent in our community for things like school lunch programs, student loans, health clinics, and more. To complete the Census online, visit my2020census.gov or call 1-844-330-2020. You count! The Census Bureau is hiring for temporary, part-time positions. Learn more at https://2020census.gov/en/jobs.
