Hi Goldthwaite CISD Families,
We’re excited to roll out a new tool that will simplify how we communicate with you. Connect, built right into our Goldthwaite CISD app and website, offer secure and safe two-way messaging.
This addition allows our district to bring the community closer together. From messages to educators, to events, to lunch menus, and more - everything can now live in one place.

Why Connect?
One place for every message.
No more juggling multiple communication apps, flipping between inboxes, or remembering different logins.
Text notifications. You can get notified automatically of new messages even if you haven’t downloaded our district app.
Safe and secure. Built-in moderation and other safety tools allow us to ensure safety of all communications, at all times.
What to Expect:
Connect will become our primary method of communication for all interactions between staff, coaches, families, and teachers.
Between August 12 & 19th, you may receive a text notification from 27806. The text will let you know who sent you a message in the Connect platform; you can then click the link for web access or view the message via the Goldthwaite CISD app. It will be important that you go ahead and login to your account and familiarize yourself with the platform so we are ready to go for the next school year.
Options to access Connect:
When a staff member sends a message to you in Connect, it will trigger a text notification to your phone. You can then click on the link, have it send you a verification code to access the web version.
