Families attending are asked to bring their children’s immunization shot records. Participating students will also receive a free backpack provided by Community Health Choice.

Texas immunization requirements state all immunizations must be complete by the first day of attendance. To read more about immunization requirements, visit www.springisd.org/immunization.
