NEWS — District back to “Normal” Monday

From SFCRCISD press release

The SFDRCISD school system will resume normal operations on Monday, February 22, 2021.  SFDRCISD Maintenance & Technology Departments are working through the weekend to prepare for  the teachers and students’ return. While some of our campuses did experience some damages,  dedicated members of our custodial and maintenance team have already repaired most of these  damages; and our amazing technology team is working throughout the weekend to fully restore power,  and re-establish connectivity and programs such as Google Classrooms and Canvas for everyone.  

While SFDRCISD has running water, out of an abundance of caution, water fountains will close until the  City of Del Rio has lifted the boiling water requirement. In the interim, campuses will only provide bottled water or purified drinking water for consumption.  

Parents and students may wonder how these past few days will affect school attendance. SFDRCISD  understands the difficulty many have experienced trying to complete and submit assignments online.  As mentioned in an earlier press release, we will work with our students by re-teaching the curriculum  that should have been covered over the past week and allow them the opportunity to re-submit  assignments. Principals will determine how to grade completed work submitted by some students over  the past week and will reschedule benchmark testing.  

Finally, this past Thursday, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) released an advisory explaining that  school districts could submit a waiver for experiencing infrastructure issues because of outages and its  related impacts that prevents a school district from providing remote instruction. This waiver allows  districts to continue instruction without make-up or without having to utilize bad weather days. 

Thankfully, SFDRCISD will be submitting this waiver to the TEA in the coming days.
