FAFSA: The Key to Unlocking Financial Aid
As high school educators, you play a vital role in preparing students for life beyond graduation. For many, this means helping them navigate the often overwhelming process of financing their education or career training. One of the most important tools in this journey is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
The FAFSA is more than just a form, it’s a key that unlocks a world of financial aid opportunities.
Empower Your Students' Futures with GO
The Genesee Opportunity (GO) stipend offered through the Genesee ISD, is a game-changer for students in Genesee County. Designed to support high school graduates, the GO Stipend provides FREE financial assistance to help students take their next step toward college, career training, or certification programs.
This one-time award is available to all high school graduates from Genesee County's public, private, charter, or home schools.
Have You Unlocked the Power of AI?
Generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and image generators are revolutionizing how educators approach teaching and learning. These innovative tools act as creative assistants, enabling you to design engaging lesson materials, adapt to diverse learning styles, and craft thought-provoking discussion prompts—all in just moments.
With AI by your side, you can address your students' unique needs more effectively while reclaiming time to focus on what truly matters: guiding, inspiring, and connecting with your learners.
Enhancing School Safety Across Genesee County
The Genesee County Emergency Operation Plan Committee, supported by Genesee ISD, was formed in 2012 and is dedicated to ensuring that the county’s Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) aligns with the newly released All-Hazards Emergency Operations Plan from the State of Michigan Office of School Safety.
This committee, made up of representatives from GISD alongside school personnel and emergency responders from across Genesee County, is conducting a detailed “crosswalk” process. This involves comparing the existing EOP with the new template to identify gaps and opportunities for improvement.
New Access to Whole Child Resources
Genesee ISD is proud to announce the launch of a new webpage designed to provide our professional educators with resources and information to support the whole child.
The whole child model broadens district and school focus beyond academics to address the needs of the child including social-emotional, health, physical, and safety.
