Beginning October 14 and running through December 18, 2024 Gillette Elementary is taking notice and rewarding students with perfect attendance (no absences). Rewards will be given at intervals of two to three weeks. Rewards include paletas/popsicles, dessert after lunch, hot chocolate and s'mores, and a chance to give Coach Aguilar and Dr. Zepeda a pie in the face! There are also academic rewards. "Research shows a strong correlation between regular attendance and higher academic achievement, as students miss valuable learning time when absent." (According to TASB)

We are aware of a post circulating on social media that mentions a potential threat to local school districts. This unsubstantiated threat was made citywide over the weekend and was not specific to any one campus.
The Harlandale ISD Police Department, in collaboration with local law enforcement and the Southwest Texas Fusion Center, is closely monitoring the situation. At this time, no credible threat has been identified against our district.
We take all potential threats seriously and remain vigilant in our efforts to ensure the safety of our students and staff. We will continue to monitor the situation, and will provide an update should any new information arise.
Thank you for your continued support and trust.
