Learning From Home

GPISD Students Share Their Experiences

The 2019-2020 school year was full of new experiences for the students of Galena Park I.S.D. One experience no one imagined
was the change from the school learning environment to the home learning environment. Our students’ families adapted to
the new way of learning with some very innovative ideas and implemented new ways of learning right in their own backyards.
