The news that broke yesterday about one of our employees having a positive test caught us all by surprise. To my knowledge we don’t have any other employees or students that are showing symptoms of having COVID-19. If that status changes with any students or staff please contact me immediately so we can take appropriate action. Many things are changing hourly with more and more data coming in from around the state. We will do our best to keep you up to date with messages and possibly video links. In the meantime, I would like to give an updated timetable on prep for instruction and delivery of instruction. Currently there is a tremendous amount of planning going on behind the scenes The meal curbside service will begin again Monday, March 30 Campus principals will be coordinating with families in need of devices and personal items from campus starting on March 30 Lesson prep will begin next week once teachers are able to get materials from their rooms Our on-line platforms should be operational by the end of next week but will truly get started on April 6 For those that need school devices we are planning for one per household at this point I realize all of you may have questions and concerns. To ease your minds please just give me a call and I will share everything I can. (My cell number is 254-631-2025) Please hang in there and take care of our kids.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PARENTS AND STAFF: Meadow ISD administration was informed this morning, March 23rd, that one of its employees has tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. Although the employee has not been physically present on school grounds since Friday, March 13th, I have determined to close all activity at the school for the next seven days for the safety of our employees and students. This time will allow for anyone exposed to the virus to determine whether they are symptomatic and to seek the advice and care of their healthcare professionals. Consequently, unless directed otherwise by the superintendent of schools, no staff, students, or parents should come to the school for any reason until Monday, March 30, 2020. The District has contacted local health officials regarding this confirmed test, and they advise Due to the small size of our campus, everyone on school grounds during the week of March 9th should monitor themselves and their family members for symptoms of the virus and consider self-quarantine. More information regarding how the COVID-19 virus spreads and its symptoms may be found on the CDC’s website located at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/index.html. The District is currently assessing the revised timetable for instructing its staff in distance learning techniques and for the delivery of remote instruction. At a minimum, teacher training, student remote instruction, and meal services will be postponed for one week. The superintendent will communicate with parents and staff through the District’s Thrillshare App and the District’s website should this period need to be extended and to provide ongoing information as it becomes available. Please make it part of your routine to check the website and the App frequently for additional information.

Meadow ISD will be closed starting March 23, 2020 through April 1, 2020 to support our community and health care professionals in the ongoing goal of containing the spread of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19. Additionally, all extracurricular activities, practices and athletic events are suspended while we are closed. We do not make this decision lightly. We fully realize it presents significant difficulties to working parents. However, we are hopeful that these measures will better ensure the long-term health and safety of children, staff, and the larger community. Meadow ISD is finalizing logistics on distance learning options and the distribution of food to address children’s nutritional needs while school is out. More information and guidance will be made available as soon as possible. We will also take this week to further clean schools and buses and restock custodial and nursing supplies. Additionally, Meadow ISD asks the broader community to take the following reasonable precautions to prevent the spread of the illness: • Don’t shake hands • Wash your hands regularly • Limit movement within the community, especially avoiding crowded placed and maintaining 3 to 6 ft of distance between people (at least an arm’s length) • If you are moving around in the community, don’t congregate in large groups • For those who have traveled to areas with known COVID-19 cases – both inside and outside of the country – we ask that you self-quarantine and monitor for symptoms. Students who have traveled should plan to stay home for two weeks after arriving home. Please contact your campus to let them know, and this will be considered an excused absence. • If you suspect you have symptoms of COVID-19, call your health care provider for medical advice . • Keep your child at home if he/she feels ill, even if you think it is just a cold. • Do not leave the house if you are ill, except to access medical care This is a quickly changing situation, and we will continue to monitor information, will assess conditions throughout the week, and will provide the next update as plans are confirmed via our website, email, and social platforms. Thank you for your support and cooperation as we ensure that all members of the community in Meadow ISD stay safe and healthy.
