Introduction

Clear, honest communication with staff, students, parents, and community members

is a hallmark of Grand Prairie ISD and the Office of Public Engagement and Public

Information. When it comes to the written word, consistency is the key to

comprehension and clarity.

Because no two experts agree on all grammatical and mechanical rules, it is the

responsibility of Grand Prairie ISD to set guidelines in order to strive for consistency.

The Grand Prairie ISD Style Guide provides editorial rules for internal and external

written publications, including the GPISD logo/graphic use, news releases, stories

posted on the District website, and other materials produced by the Office of Public

Engagement. The Grand Prairie ISD Style Guide should also be applied to Grand

Prairie ISD campus and department publications.

Many of the entries included in this guide are based on the Associated Press

Stylebook, which is considered the gold standard for written mass communications.

However, a number of entries are specific to Grand Prairie ISD, and Grand Prairie ISD

Style always trumps AP style.

Like The Associated Press Stylebook, entries are listed in alphabetical order in bold.

The text that follows explains the usage. If there is no text following an entry, the

entry simply indicates the correct spelling, capitalization, or usage. Words in italics

are an example of how the entry is correctly used.

This guide contains those items most often encountered when writing about schools

and education, but it is by no means exhaustive. For items that are not included in

Grand Prairie ISD Style Guide, refer to The Associated Press Stylebook, which can be

purchased at most bookstores and may be available through high school journalism

programs.

The Grand Prairie ISD Style Guide is designed to be a living tool that can be updated

and expanded frequently. The most up-to-date version will be posted on the Public

Engagement and Public Information department web page.

In addition, a number of other resources are included in this handbook to provide

users with a one-stop-shop of Grand Prairie ISD information.

For more information about the contents of Grand Prairie ISD Style Guide, please

Style Guide


Glossary of Terms

A

about vs. approximately

When providing an estimate, use about instead of approximately, unless in a direct

quote.

academic degrees

Avoid using abbreviations as B.A., M.A., or Ph.D. unless used as part of an official

signature. Instead use associate (not associate’s) degree, bachelor’s degree,

master’s degree, or doctorate. Any staff member may be referred to as Dr. if they

hold a doctorate, Ph.D., Ed.D., or M.D. Never use Dr. and the abbreviated degree

together.

accountability ratings

State issued accountability ratings such as Exemplary, Recognized, and Academically

Acceptable should be capitalized.

Adult and Community Education

Community Ed may be used in internal publications only.

American College Test (ACT)

It is one of the most common college entrance examinations. Use initials, without

periods, on all references to refer to the college entrance exam.

addresses

Abbreviations such as St., Ave. and Blvd. are used only with a numbered address. All

other designations, such as road, drive, court, etc., always are spelled out.

Style Guide


Grand Prairie ISD Logo and Letterhead

BRANDING

It is important that GPISD be loyal to its logo, tagline, fonts, colors and the graphic

design of its identity package. It is imperative that the brand not be “watered down”

by making arbitrary changes.

An important thing to remember is: Administrators and staff will become tired and

bored with the logo, tagline and layouts long before the public realizes that GPISD

has a new look.

The following standards must be followed to the letter and no material changes may

be made to any branded elements for at least five years, preferably much longer.

APPROVED GPISD LOGO

The strength of any logo is how effectively it communicates an entity’s key messages.

In GPISD’s case:

The depiction of an adult leading a child and reaching for a star represents

achievement and striving for success.

The generic adult and child imply that any and all can be successful in GPISD.

The uphill swoosh communicates that a good education takes work, but it is

achievable.

The font R has a “stepping forward look” to it. This is what GPISD is doing with

its new look.

Style Guide


The stacked Grand Prairie gives the logo a feeling of a broad, deep, and stable

foundation which is what a GPISD education gives a child.

The green of the logo represents growth.

The Yellow of the logo depicts brilliance and inspiration.

LOGO USAGE

The GPISD logo is the cornerstone of the GPISD brand. It should be used on all

official District correspondence: stationery, letterheads, envelopes, guides,

reports, documents, business cards, electronic presentations, collateral,

booklets, binders, videos, publications, awards, brochures, banners,

promotional materials, ads, signage, websites, etc.

The logo should always be left justified on a page (so it’s the first object seen)

and at the top to reinforce the concept of “reaching for the stars” and “a

mountain summit.”

If the tagline “innovate. educate. graduate.” is used with the logo, it should

always appear below it. (See below)

When possible, the logo should appear in the branded colors.

The words “Grand Prairie” should always be stacked and never be run side by

side. This is a vertically formatted logo and should not be run as a horizontally

formatted one.

Style Guide


The logo will be placed on all District vehicles over time.

The logo may be accompanied by the words “Grand Prairie Independent

School District,” “Grand Prairie ISD,” “GPISD,” or “Grand Prairie Schools.”

Individuals outside of an official capacity may not use the logo without authorization

from the Director of Communications and/or the Director of Community Relations.

LOGO FORMATS

The following formats are available for the GPISD logo:

jpg

pdf

ai

The following logos -- without and with the tagline -- are available.

Style Guide


RETIRED GPISD LOGO

Do not use the logos below on any future materials. These are to be used only with

permission of the Public Engagement Department.

TAGLINE

The official tagline for GPISD is: innovate. educate. graduate.

Graphically, it should:

Appear immediately below the bottom of the logo.

Always have a period after each word.

Appear as all lowercase if paired with the logo.

Style Guide


If the tagline is used apart from the logo, it may appear either all lowercased or with

all letters capped.

TYPOGRAPHY

If building a logo, one should only use the following type:

Grand Prairie Font:

o Avalon Demi Bold (All capped)

o It should always be black.

Independent School District Font:

o Avalon Demi Bold

o If printed in color, it should always be PMS 343.

innovate. educate. graduate. Font:

o Desyrel Regular

o It should always be black.

All physical, phone & web address information should be left justified to line up under

the left side of the logo.

All accompanying text should be Avalon Demi Bold and be printed in PMS 343.

It is recommended that all communications copy be a san serif font such as:

Avalon

Arial

Helvetica Narrow

Style Guide


COLOR SCHEME

GPISD logo colors are:

Star

o Pantone Yellow

o C=0, M=0,Y=100, K=0

Independent School District

o PMS 343

o C=98, M=0,Y=72, K=81

Walkway

o Gradient Yellow

o C=0, M=0,Y=100, K=0 to Green C=100, M=0,Y=91, K=42

All type is black

The logo should always sit on a solid background.

Note that coated PMS 343 and uncoated PMS 343 will appear to be different colors.

While this is a common issue with coated and uncoated paper stocks and inks, be

aware of this when trying to match existing materials.

Style Guide


Information Consistency

In addition to consistently using the same colors, font and layout placement, it is

important to the GPISD brand that basic information also be styled consistently.

Phone numbers should be styled with dots and NOT dashes: 972.264.6141

Web address is always lowercased: www.gpisd.org

On letterhead:

o Address is 10 point.

o Phone/Fax is 9 point.

o Website is 10 point.

Style Guide


Grand Prairie ISD Electronic Communication

Grand Prairie ISD uses Microsoft Outlook for electronic communication. Access to the

District’s email system is a privilege and certain responsibilities accompany that

privilege. Email users are expected to demonstrate the same level of ethical and

professional conduct as is required in face-to-face or written communications.

Electronic mail is to serve instructional and administrative purposes in accordance

with administrative regulations.

EMAIL ETIQUETTE

Include a Subject

Your email’s subject line is, next to your name, the first thing the recipient sees. It is

important.

Don’t Scream a Message

Messages typed in all capital letters are the computer equivalent of shouting and are

considered rude. Be polite.

Be Respectful

If messages can’t be said face-to-face, it should not be written in an email.

Use Appropriate Language

Swearing, vulgarity, ethnic or racial slurs or any other inflammatory language is

prohibited.

Don’t Clog the System

Electronic chain letters are prohibited with the District electronic communication

system. Deliberate and/or repeated sending or forwarding of chain letters negatively

affects the instructional and administrative functions of the District.

Use Correct Spelling and Proper Grammar

Comma, colon, hyphen and semicolon— all exist for a reason: they make it easier to

understand the intended meaning of a sentence.

Watch Your Tone

You want to come across as respectful, friendly and approachable. You don’t want to

sound curt or demanding.

Don’t Overuse Abbreviations or Acronyms

It is more professional to spell things out. It makes sure the message is clearly

communicated.

Be Focused

Keep your message brief and to the point.

Style Guide


Be Timely

Responding once or twice a day is sufficient, unless you are in some other field where

a faster response is expected.

Use Spell Check

Take your correspondence seriously. It reflects on you. As an educator, the bar is

even higher. If words are misspelled, bad grammar is used or punctuation is

misused, it reflects negatively on you and the District.

Users Should be Aware

Email messages sent under a school-related email address might cause some

recipients or other readers of that mail to assume they represent the District or

school, whether or not that was the user’s intention. All email messages in the

District electronic communication system are considered District communication and

subject to open record requests.

There is no such thing as a private email

The District reserves the right to monitor access to and use of the District electronic

communication system.

Be Mindful of the Use of the Reply to All

This will send a reply to all mail recipients listed in the To, CC and BCC fields. All Mail

Recipients in the To field will send an email to every email account in the District.

Email used for

illegal or unlawful purposes, including but not limited to, copyright infringement,

obscenity, slander, fraud, defamation, plagiarism, harassment, intimidation, forgery,

impersonation, solicitation of illegal activities, pyramid schemes, and computer

tampering (e.g. spreading of computer viruses) is forbidden.

Email will not be used to

send any materials that violate District policy or administrative directives. This

includes, but is not limited to obscene, inappropriate, pornographic, or gang related

language or materials, conspiracy to commit crime, lewd or distasteful jokes, racial or

anti-religious materials. It is prohibited for email users to forward or to reply to spam

emails. If a spam message is received, it is to be deleted immediately.

A user pretending to be someone else

when sending/receiving messages is considered inappropriate.

Email User Responsibilities.

Outlook can be used to send school related email, keep appointments and events in

a calendar, and keep a list of contacts.

Style Guide


All email messages are required to end with a signature and confidentiality

disclaimer.

User mailboxes will be limited in storage size.

Delete unnecessary email items in the: Inbox, Deleted Items, Sent Items.
