This means that all students and teachers will begin classes in online learning, and BISD will keep buildings closed to students for regular on-campus, face-to-face instruction and activities until after Sept. 27.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the&nbsp;Order, District officials are now adjusting our online learning plan to align with new state requirements. We can assure you that the District is committed to providing high-quality instruction to our students and ongoing support for our staff. Online learning in fall 2020 will be a different model from this past spring\u2019s learning program. BISD will include academic and social\/emotional supports to continue to meet the needs of our students and staff, while also meeting state requirements for accountability and student academic progress. Also, staff and students will follow BISD\u2019s grading regulations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is some flexibility in the&nbsp;Order&nbsp;to assist districts with serving students in specific circumstances. We will work quickly and thoroughly on implementation details and will provide additional information to you in the coming days.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Birdville ISD will continue to monitor guidance that is issued from local health officials, as well as the Texas Education Agency and the Governor. We understand that these&nbsp;ongoing&nbsp;changes are challenging for our students, parents, and staff. We thank you for your continued support, patience, and trust during this uncertain time, and as we respond to these ever-changing requirements and plan for the return of our students and staff. Please continue to monitor our website&nbsp;for updates.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sincerely,&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Darrell G.
