Our GCA Schoolwide expectations are to Be Safe, Be Responsible, and Be Respectful in all things.
- If your student is sick or absent for a doctor appointment, please send excuse notes to Mrs. Wilson in the front office in person or via email, mwilson@gcahtx.com.
- Our secondary students are doing a good job of following the new Cell Phone rules. It is awesome to see students spending more time communicating with each other face-to-face.
- Words Hurt! Parents, we need your help. The start of a new school year always includes new teachers, new structures and new students. Not everyone is accustomed to the expectations of how we treat each other at GCA. Several students have been using some mean words, name calling, and body shaming. Please review the impact that words have on others and review our expectations. As Christians, we are to love and not harm. Thank you for working with us to support a positive environment for everyone here at GCA.
- The start of the school year can also heighten some mental health issues as well. Adjusting to new courses, work loads, and schedules can be very stressful. Please let us know if your student is struggling and reach out to teachers for any feedback or suggestions to assist your student manage these new challenges.

Clubs are Coming!
K-6 Bible Club!
Starting September 4th, 3:30-4:15 pm. Our Bible Club will focus on sharing the gospel and nurturing spiritual growth with our kids at GCA. There will be engaging, Bible based lessons taught with visuals including pictures and drawings and videos, all rooted in Scripture and centered on Christ. The children will enjoy captivating stories and participate in creative activities that bring the Bible to life for young hearts.
International Club
Join us Fridays, during high school lunch, in Ms. Rahbe's room (205) for International Club. International Club is a time where we grow in our understanding of the cultures represented at Grace Christian Academy, learn about American culture, practice our English, learn about God's Word, play fun games, and enjoy friendship and fellowship. We will also be taking monthly trips to local international restaurants. All international students (and non-international students) are welcome to attend. If you have any questions, see Ms. Rahbe or Mr. Wynveen.
Chess Club with the Knight School starts September 8th.
More club info coming soon!
