Dear GISD Parents,

We are continuously monitoring weather conditions and the possibility of severe weather during dismissal times. Parents are welcome to pick up their students early as an excused absence. Thank you for your patience and understanding as our campus office staff work to safely check out and release students to their parents.  

Schools will NOT be released early. Not having early release is due to bus route logistics, and we know many of our parents will be at work and may not be home to receive their children. 

Our students’ safety is our priority, and if the weather is severe during the school day or dismissal, we may shelter in place until it is safe to resume a regular schedule. To view a list of our current weather procedures, please visit: garlandisd.net/weather

Based on weather conditions at dismissal, buses may also be delayed. We recommend visiting our Transportation website at for updates. We will also hold walkers and bike riders as needed. 

Please refer to our website and social media platforms for more updates. Thank you for being so supportive of Garland ISD.
