Schools close due to rising COVID-19 cases.

Dew and Fairfield announced earlier in the week. Wortham just announced on Thursday:

 

Wortham ISD

Due to increasing COVID-19 positive cases and other illnesses among our students and staff, we have made the decision to cancel school and all extracurricular activities for Friday, January 14th.

Additionally, we are canceling our Open House that was scheduled for Monday, January 17th.

Our maintenance staff will utilize this time to continue with their cleaning and sanitizing without staff and students in the buildings and buses.

Students WILL NOT have to make up this day of school.

Please stay safe, and we look forward to seeing everyone back on campuses on Tuesday, January 18th.

School will be closed from January 12 through January 17, 2022 due to an increase in COVID cases.

We will reopen on Tuesday, January 18, 2022.

These days will not be required to be made up.

We will use this time to do deep cleaning throughout the school.

Fairfield ISD

 

Unfortunately this round of COVID has been impactful on our staff. Due to staffing issues at the campuses, I am canceling school for Thursday (1-13) and Friday(1-14). Monday is a scheduled holiday for students. We will resume all class/activity on Tuesday, January 18th.

At this time, I am allowing all FISD extracurricular activities to continue. There could be changes (dates, locations, etc.) so look for communications if necessary.

Service Solutions will be deep cleaning the campuses/district over the next few days.

We will continue a normal day and release at 3:25 this afternoon.

We have a few days banked, so we will not have to make these 2 days up; however, we have been notified by TEA that waivers will not be granted for missed days this year. If we continue to have sickness issues or bad weather closures, we will be responsible at some point for making up missed days.

Take care of yourselves and your family, and be safe!

From Dr. Jason Adams – FISD Superintendent
