GRANDS ON THE GO!

Grands on the Go is a new Terrell ISD initiative that will begin in August 2024. Designed to connect members of the community ages 55 years and older with Terrell ISD elementary students, Grands will serve as classroom helpers once a week on Tuesdays from 8:30 AM - 11:30 AM and would be assigned to classrooms in kindergarten, first and second grades.

For the first year, the Grands on the Go program will be piloted at Gilbert Willie Elementary School with plans to expand to all elementary schools by 2025. We need MeMe’s, Paw Paws, Grandmas, Grandpa's Abuela's, Granny’s, GiGi’s, Nana's, Glammas, MaMaws and NiNi’s to serve as a Grand on the Go. Because let's face it, sometimes all a child needs is a hug from Grandma to make it all better!

If you have the time, energy and ability to serve EVERY Tuesday for three hours from 8:30 - 11:30 AM please submit your application by filling out the form below. We are looking for Grands who can commit to a consistent schedule in order to build connections with our students.

Applicants must also submit and pass a background check prior to being selected. Grands who are selected must also attend a mandatory orientation where they will meet their assigned teacher
