Don't wait to get your flu shot. GISD is hosting flu clinics at Shugart Elementary and other area clinics.
Vaccines will be free to CHIP and Medicaid recipients and will cost $10 for children and $35 for adults without insurance. The clinics will accept private insurance from Blue Cross Blue Shield, United, Cigna, or Aetna.
There are multiple opportunities for families to get the flu vaccine at our district and area clinics:
You may also be able to get vaccinations through your personal health care provider.
Join us at the #ChooseGarlandISD Expo to find the right fit for your student.
Parents and prospective students are invited to learn more about their upcoming campuses and what it's like to attend. Families will be able to:
- explore academics, course selection, college and career options, graduation requirements and more

- see our available programs at all levels, including magnet opportunities
- meet the students and staff of their campuses
We look forward to seeing you there.
