Yearbook Update
Distribution
Due to the circumstances, we decided to opt for a fall delivery and push back the distribution for the yearbook to August.
At this time, I do not know when we will receive the books, so I do not have an exact plan yet. Once we know more information, we will share the distribution details with you.
Thank you for your understanding.
Extra Books
We will not have the opportunity to sell extra books like in the past, so the link to order a book has been reopened. This will be your last chance to guarantee a book is reserved for your child. If you are not sure if you ordered a book, please click
Yearbook Orders as of May 8.
To order a book:
Call: 1-877-767-5217

From Nurse Bonczyk
Medicine Pick Up information
Please be advised if your student has medication or health supplies in the school clinic, these items will be picked up during your assigned, specific campus pick-up time. Your campus nurse will have your medication prepared and pass it to you in the outside pick-up line; if possible, please bring your own pen to sign off on the medication document.
No medication will be "held over" for the next school year. If you have any questions, please email your campus nurse.

Governor Greg Abbott announced that he is amending his Executive Order calling now for all schools to remain closed in the state of Texas through the end of the 2019-2020 school year.
Despite the disappointing news that we cannot safely open our facilities for school the rest of 2019-2020, Carroll ISD will still continue online remote learning and meal delivery for qualifying students.
This means all Carroll ISD facilities will remain closed, and school events/activities are canceled through the end of May.
Operation #SAFEdragon (Safety Awareness For Every Dragon) is a multi-faceted response plan that affects all CISD facilities and departments. The program includes a number of intitiatives aimed at fortifying buildings, ensuring regular training, communication and increasing staff and public awareness.
The goals of the #SAFEdragon program are to improve safety and security within Carroll ISD and promote emergency preparedness among students and staff.
NOVEL (NEW) CORONAVIRUS & COVID-19 INFORMATION
Carroll ISD cares about our community and all of our decision-making is geared toward protecting the health and safety of our students and staff. Carroll ISD will be closed by executive order of Texas Governor Greg Abbott
. We joined other north Texas school districts and the City of Southlake leaders in announcing efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in our communities.
