The District is working through that&nbsp;document&nbsp;and will provide the BISD family with more details as they become available.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BISD opened online registration on Thursday, July 2,&nbsp;where parents were given the opportunity to choose between face-to-face or online instruction.&nbsp;Thankfully, you do not have to register today. However, we will ask parents to enter their choice no later than two weeks before the start of school.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to register your child now, you&nbsp;may. We posted a document online on how to change between the two&nbsp;options if you choose to do so. Parents will be able to make changes up to two weeks before the start of school. There will still be options to change after that, but&nbsp;it will have to be done&nbsp;through&nbsp;your&nbsp;campus.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The District has received some great questions from parents since registration opened.&nbsp;Based on what TEA released on&nbsp;July 7,&nbsp;we are developing an extensive FAQ that will address&nbsp;many&nbsp;of your&nbsp;questions.&nbsp;The FAQ will be posted on the District\u2019s website&nbsp;as soon as possible.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Darrell G.
