Mrs. Elrod has been creating a google classroom for many years in which the seniors and senior parents are asked to join.  The google classroom contains all the information and links needed to complete all the scholarships offered to all Gordon ISD graduating seniors.  The seniors are also met with face to face several times and given paper copies when we receive them.  Then this year we have now started sending out reminder parentsquares notifications.

The administration is looking at the cost effectiveness of moving to an online PO system through TXEIS.  Currently we use paper POs and there is no way for each department to monitor their individual budget.  Online POs would allow this.  Administration is also looking at moving to online leave requests instead of paper copies.
