Happy Weekend!

Even though this was a short week, it was truly a wonderful week filled with learning, connections, and lots of Eagle pride!

Thank you to all of our parents and guardians who were able to join us for Open House on Thursday evening. We loved having you on campus! If you were unable to attend, please reach out to your child’s teacher to receive the information that was shared.

Next week is another full and exciting week at Giesinger! Along with the excellent learning happening in our classrooms, we have several special events planned.

I also want to give a special thank you to Mrs. Amanda Vance and our PTO team for all of their hard work with our fall fundraiser. This is the LAST weekend to get your orders in, so don’t miss out!

Tuesday: Our annual Watch D.O.G.S. Pizza Night at 6:00 PM. Please RSVP by Sunday night.

Wednesday: Our first Texas Standard Day, along with our Storybook Character Parade! Families are invited to join us along the front parking lot circle to watch the parade and cheer on our Eagles!

Friday: We will celebrate Mrs. Imogene Giesinger Day, a very special tradition for our campus. We are honored to have several members of Mrs. Giesinger’s family joining us as we celebrate her life, legacy, and the lasting impact she continues to have on our school community.

I often remind myself what a blessing it is to be busy—especially when that busyness comes from making memories, learning, growing, and spending time together. I hope you feel the same and take time to enjoy these moments with your children while they are still young. The days can be long, but these years sure do go by quickly!

Have a wonderful weekend with your family. We can’t wait to welcome our Eagles back next week!

Get Your Eagle On! 💙🦅

We are so excited to celebrate our first Texas Standard Day and Read for a Better Life Day on September 16! Our Storybook Parade will start at 8:30 AM on the front porch!

For our Storybook Parade, students should come dressed in a costume that matches the book they bring! Costumes should be school appropriate and not scary. Students may wear a mask during the parade only. After the parade, masks will need to go in their backpack.

Parents and families, join us at 5:30 PM for the 6:00 PM parade!

Wear your Giesinger gear and help us represent our school as we cheer on our Eagles’ future high school—Conroe High School! 🎉

The parade will end at the stadium with a pep rally celebrating the Conroe Tigers!

Come Walk in the Conroe High School Parade with Us!

Parents, use this card to guide a discussion with your child about this week’s Texas Standard Character Focus!

Beginning the week of September 8, students who have already used their one free replacement will be charged $3 for each additional replacement Smart Tag.

Smart Tags are an important part of our student safety and transportation procedures. All Conroe ISD students are required to have their Smart Tag with them for transportation purposes each day. Please help us by making sure your child’s Smart Tag remains securely attached to their backpack and comes to school with them every day.

Each student received a Smart Tag at no cost at the beginning of the school year and is allowed one free replacement. After the free replacement has been used, additional replacement Smart Tags will cost $3 each.

Need only a new lanyard or plastic holder? Bring the Smart Tag to the Giesinger Front Office, and we will replace the lanyard or holder free of charge.

Please note: Replacement Smart Tag payments are cash only.

Thank you for helping us keep our Eagles safe and our transportation procedures running smoothly!
