Earlier this week communication was sent out to our team outlining district expectations for the first four weeks of school. The following are key decisions aligned with current guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Austin Public Health Guidance on Reopening:

• Our intent is to have all students remain in a remote, off-campus learning environment the first four weeks of school, Sept. 8–Oct. 5.
• Most instructional staff will facilitate remote learning off campus during those first four weeks. No teachers are required to report to their campus at the start of school.
• Campuses are reaching out to all families to help secure the needed devices and/or access to Wi-Fi for off-campus, remote learning.
• A select number of team members will be called in to campus to support certain groups of students.
• Teaching staff who need to care for children are encouraged to continue working remotely for the first four weeks.
• All Austin ISD facilities will maintain no more than 25% building capacity as currently recommended by Austin Public Health.

We are committed to working with our staff and providing a safe environment.
