It is good to see the sun shining today. For many in the BISD family, the severe winter weather brought extreme hardship, both personally and financially. Throughout this challenging week, I witnessed the goodness of the BISD family as they reached out to help those around them. You make me proud because #BISDShines and #WeAreBirdvilleISD.
This past week, many of our staff worked diligently to protect our schools from the harsh cold. The District did see some damage in various facilities. But thanks to our staff’s diligence, the damage was minimized, repairs made, and service restored. Thank you to those who worked hard to protect our schools this past week.
BISD will return to normal operations on Monday, Feb. 22. All offices and schools will open at their regular times, and school will resume for our face-to-face and online learners.
Even though we are returning to our everyday school routines, we can’t forget we are still in the middle of dealing with COVID-19. Face coverings, social distancing, and other preventive measures are still in effect.
While I am thankful that we can have school on Monday, I also know that many community members may still be assessing how the storms impacted their homes and businesses. One of the things I love the most about the BISD family is how we come together to support one another in times of need. School counselors will be available to any student, family, or staff member that may need to talk with someone or need some assistance.
With the uncertainty of the weather for the week of Feb. 15, BISD will send laptops home with students on Friday, Feb. 12. If next week’s weather necessitates that the District close for one or more days beginning Tuesday, Feb. 16, all classes will move to 100% online learning.
Monday, Feb. 15, is a student holiday and a professional learning day for staff. Staff will do their professional learning online from home that day.
Remember, Friday, Feb. 12, is a half day for students. It is important that face-to-face students be in class to receive the technology to take home. BISD campuses/facilities will be closed to the public on Monday, Feb. 15. Office staff will be working remotely.
BISD will communicate updates next week as needed through the District’s web and social media channels.
Birdville ISD is dedicated to the safety of students and staff. With the onset of winter, and the threat of snow and ice, it is important for the BISD community to know the District has an established plan to determine whether schools will be open, delayed or closed. The District attempts to make a decision about delaying or closing as early as possible, usually by 5:30 a.m.
If the superintendent determines to delay or close school, the District’s phone messaging system will be activated and the major radio and television stations will be notified. The District will also post this information on the District’s website, Facebook, Twitter, Birdville ISD News, and the District’s main line at 817-547-5700. BISD only posts these notifications if school is delayed or closed — not if it is open as usual.
