Update on COVID/Bad Weather Days

BISD was closed Tuesday, Jan. 18 and Wednesday, Jan. 19 for COVID, and Thursday, Feb. 3 and Friday, Feb. 4 due to inclement weather. The District’s 2021–22 calendar has enough instructional minutes as required by state statutes. Therefore, Jan. 18–19 and Feb. 3–4 will not have to be made up by staff or students.

• Friday, Feb. 11 is still a student half day/teacher prep day.
• Monday, Feb. 21 is still a student holiday with campus staff participating in professional development. District and departmental staff will continue with regularly scheduled activities.
• Friday, April 15 is still a staff/student holiday.

If there are additional closures due to weather, the District may have to reevaluate the use of inclement weather makeup days.

BISD updates COVID-19 Dashboard beginning Jan. 19, 2022

Covid-19 Dashboard

Since the beginning of 2022, reports of positive COVID-19 cases have been on the rise across the community, state and nation. Birdville ISD is experiencing similar increases in positive cases among our students and staff. Therefore, BISD’s COVID-19 Dashboard (“the Dashboard”) is being expanded to provide BISD families and staff with daily and monthly COVID-19 numbers.  

The Dashboard’s numbers are based on information received from parents and staff through the online reporting forms. It is critical that parents and staff notify the District of positive tests using the links below. (Testing agencies do not notify the District with test results.) Once the reporting form is complete, the District will verify the form data before the data is reflected in the COVID Dashboard numbers.    

The Dashboard data will be finalized workdays by 6 p.m.
