Thank you for your patience as we studied the possibility of changing bell schedules at selected schools to help us reduce students’ time on the bus as well as to maximize bus driver staffing. As you may know, like districts nationwide, CCISD is experiencing a continued, critical shortage of bus drivers. On May 12, we shared a survey with staff and families who potentially would be affected by bell schedule changes. Thanks to the input from this survey, we made adjustments to better accommodate family and staff schedules as well as better manage bus routes. Starting on the first day of school, Tuesday, Aug. 11, our schools will have the following bell schedules: • • • •
Early Childhood Development Center, Metro Elementary School of Design, Windsor Park Elementary School: 8:10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (20 minutes later) All other elementary schools 7:50 a.m. to 3:10 p.m. (no change) Middle schools (except Metro Prep) 8:30 a.m. to 3:50 p.m. (20 minutes earlier) High schools (and Metro Prep) 8:50 a.m. to 4:10 p.m. (no change)
Students may enter the school 20 minutes prior to the bell. After-care and extracurricular schedules at schools affected by schedule changes will be revised as needed, with updates provided by the respective program leads. WWW.CCISD.US

There’s a lot of great “gossip” going around… and this time, it’s all good! Our Positive Gossip campaign is all about celebrating the incredible moments happening across our district. Gossip ranges from inspiring teachers and standout students to exciting campus events. We’ve already shared stories like a mother-daughter teaching duo at Rose Shaw Elementary, a Solomon M. Coles High School teacher featured in The Bend magazine, and a Mary Carroll High School student who saved a life using CPR. We know there’s so much more to tell! Don’t keep it to yourself, share your Positive Gossip today!
2026-2027 prep: Does your email signature meet district guidelines? All schools, departments, and district offices are required to use the standard CCISD email signature template, as shown in page 15 of the Brand Style Guide. In keeping with the aim of pre-senting a unified and professional image, employees are asked to avoid incorporating personal quotes, backgrounds or logos of other organizations into their email signature. See page 16 of the Brand Style Guide.
Leadership Definition Corpus Christi ISD, in partnership with The Holdsworth Center, created a leadership definition to guide the how of our work in support of the district’s mission and vision.
