GISD will be providing an opportunity for eligible students, staff, and community members to receive the COVID vaccination if they so choose. It is not mandatory but simply being made available in what we hope is at a convenient time and location. The Texas Department of State Health Services will be providing the vaccination. It is free to any student or staff that is interested. Students will need parent permission to participate in the vaccination clinic. Please complete the following anonymous survey so that the Texas Department of State Health Services will know how to proceed in preparing for the vaccination clinic. https://forms.gle/BjZfkaoAhNXPCoiG8
