Good afternoon Bobcat Kindergarten families!
Just a reminder that tomorrow and Wednesday our GT testing will take place for our Kindergarten students only. See the attached flyer for specific teacher dates . Please make sure that your Bobcat is rested and ready to go!

🚧 Traffic Change on Norton Street – Please Read Carefully

Thank you for your patience as we work out logistics for a temporary traffic change due to construction.

Effective Immediately:
🚦 Norton Street is now a one-way, and vehicles may only enter from Kostoryz Road (you can no longer enter from Ramsey or Annapolis).

🚸 Pre-K Pickup
No change in location. However, we urge parents to park on Annapolis and cross over to the front of the school for safety. Please remember that Norton is now one-way from Kostoryz, and some vehicles will be turning left toward Brentwood for older student pickup.

🅿️ Kinder–1st Grade Pickup
Continue using the front parking lot. All vehicles will be required to make a left turn to exit the lot.

🚗 Brentwood Pickup (2nd–5th Grade)
The pickup location remains the same, but please note that the route has changed. All vehicles must follow the one-way traffic from Kostoryz Road to Sam Houston. Right turns from Ramsey or Annapolis are no longer permitted. Please use caution when making your left turn onto Brentwood, as traffic patterns will be different.

⚠️ Construction begins Monday, October 27th and is expected to last up to 60 days.

Thank you again for your patience and cooperation as we work through these changes to keep everyone safe! 💛🐾

Corpus Christi ISD is proud to announce the next phase of its 1:1 for everyone, which expands access to digital learning tools for all grade levels. During the 2025–26 school year, students in grades K–12 will have access to a district-issued device. Students in grades 3 through 5 will have access to a 1:1 device while at school, and students in grades 6-12 will have a device directly assigned to them for use at school and home. Families of students in grades 3–8 will also have the option to request that their child’s device be sent home for extended learning opportunities. Highlights of the Initiative: Internet filters: All devices will be equipped with internet filtering to help ensure safe browsing at school and home. Insurance options: Families will have access to device insurance options ranging from $15-$30, which can be found on the school webstore. Student Technology Service Center: Certified high school student technicians will continue to provide device repair and maintenance through the Student Technology Service Center, supporting both sustainability and career-ready skills development. “Providing devices for each student ensures equitable access districtwide and enables students to take learning beyond the four walls of the classroom, when appropriate,” said Director of Technology Support Services Janelle Reyes. To learn more about the 1:1 Student Device Initiative—including FAQs, please visit ccisd.us/page/technology-services or reach out through Let’s Talk or by contacting Technology Services by texting (361) 600-3691 or emailing Let’s Talk at ccisd.tx@k12-lets-talk.com
