2 Your partnership makes
#GarlandUSA stronger
The start of a new year brings with it fresh goals, high
spirits and a dedicated vision. With nearly 8,000 staff
members ready for another outstanding school year,
Garland ISD wants you to join us in making 2019-20 one
of the best yet.
Building strong community-school partnerships is vital
to student success. Whether you join a PTA, volunteer at a
campus, donate to the Garland ISD Education Foundation,
serve on a district committee, or develop a service
project, you can make an impact in one of the nation’s
finest districts. And, you don’t have to be a GISD parent
or guardian to make life-changing waves. All community
members can get involved.
Without our public’s participation, this summer’s
Community Input Summit would not have seen success.
The valuable feedback obtained from hundreds of
students, staff and community members is essential
to our district’s bright future. We sincerely thank the
participants who gave up some of their precious time to
help us in our ambitious decision-making efforts.
If you missed this recent opportunity to give your two
cents, no need to worry. There are plenty of other ways for
you to stay involved and informed throughout the year.

Becoming a #GarlandUSA ally is easy. Considering the
variety of ways you can connect with us, the next step
might be the hardest: figuring out how you want to
make a difference this year. Why wait? We welcome your
partnership in any capacity today.
With your support, you are not only impacting the
future generation. You are enriching the three cities
and thousands of community members that make one
powerful district. Together, we can strengthen Garland
ISD and continue our legacy of being a great place to live,
work and learn.
