Renovations and additions were made possible

by Bond 2022, and the school’s new library was made possible thanks to a grant received by the Education Service Center, Region 2. Students from George Evans Elementary School joined students at Allen Elementary recently.

“Built in 1980, Allen Elementary has a proud history, and now, 44 years later, we’re thrilled to welcome you to our newly renovated school,” Allen Elementary Principal Celeste Fernandez said.” These projects go beyond physical upgrades—they reflect our commitment to providing an innovative, top-tier learning environment for our students.”

Flu/vaccine clinics H-E-B will be in our District starting Monday, September 23 , through Friday, October 25, to provide flu shots and other vaccines.

H-E-B pharmacy is now requiring most CCISD clinic locations to meet a minimum requirement of 20 participants. If the minimum is not met using the registration links provided, the clinic is subject to cancellation per HEB and your location contact will be notified. Employees can always go to any H-E-B to receive vaccines.

Employees and spouses enrolled in the District’s group health plan with Blue Cross Blue Shield may receive the flu shot, the pneumonia vaccine, shingles, the tetanus booster, and the Covid booster from H-E-B at no cost.

Costs for the five vaccines for employees who do not have the District’s group health plan is: • Flu shot - $45.00 • COVID Booster $189.99 • Pneumonia Vaccine $303.15 • Tetanus Booster* (Boostrix) $58.79 • Shingrix Shingles – $235.24 (1 dose, 2 dose series) *The tetanus booster includes the vaccine that protects from pertussis (whooping cough) and stops the spread of whooping cough to others, such as babies and small children who have not yet been immunized.
