Giddings ISD wants to inform you that after dismissal today (March 18, 2026) at Giddings Middle School, a student was reported to have made a threat. Administration immediately responded and worked with the Giddings Police Department, which has determined there is no active threat at this time. Student safety remains our top priority. Please remind your child to report any concerns to school staff immediately.
Texas public schools are required to provide a minimum of 75,600 instructional minutes each school year. Due to bad weather, school was canceled on January 26, 2026, resulting in a loss of instructional time.
To meet the state-required instructional minutes and avoid having a make-up day on May 8, 2026, the Board of Trustees has approved eliminating the previously scheduled early release day on Friday, March 6.
As a result, school will dismiss at the normal time on March 6, 2026. The scheduled early release will not occur.
We appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we adjust the school calendar to avoid a bad weather make-up day. Thank you for your continued support.
