Austin ISD issued the following announcement.
As we get ready to take a much-needed break for Thanksgiving, we want to work with our community to be prepared.
We have learned many lessons in the past eight months living with COVID-19, including how quickly we may need to pivot as health guidelines are updated. Austin-Travis County entered Stage 4 of Austin Public Health’s risk-based guidelines this week. We are monitoring the situation and routinely consulting with Austin Public Health and Interim Director Dr. Mark Escott.
As we monitor the situation throughout Austin-Travis County, we are evaluating the option of temporarily transitioning to remote-only instruction for the week following Thanksgiving Break: Nov. 30-Dec. 4. We will keep you informed and release a message no later than Wednesday, Nov. 25 that includes a firm decision.
In the event we do transition to remote learning, we want you to be prepared for any scenario that involves your child’s education. Please ensure your child brings their AISD and personal devices and school supplies home with them today. Doing so will help us minimize disruption to learning in case we need to move to remote instruction for any amount of time.
Thank you for the amazing grace you show us every day with your patience and understanding.
Stephanie S. Elizalde. Ed.D.
