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.

SMART Board safety information

SMART Interactive Flat Panels (IFPs) are an important part of the classroom learning environment. The district’s IFPs use a hydraulic mount that allows the device to be raised or lowered with the use of a remote.

Please be advised that shelving, desks, or any other solid objects should not be placed below SMART IFPs. Objects placed below IFPs will impede movement of the unit, causing damage to the safety latches, which in turn may cause the unit to dismount from the bracket. Your assistance in this important injury protection measure is appreciated. If you suspect or observe a faulty IFP or hydraulic mount, please contact your supervisor immediately.

Bond 2024 approved email signature The district has approved a Bond 2024 signature block you may use in your district emails through Nov. 5.
