To the Joaquin ISD Community:

Joaquin ISD is committed to ensuring the health, safety and well-being of our staff,
students and community. We are continually monitoring and assessing the
situation related to the Coronavirus (COVID–19) outbreak. We are in daily
contact with the Texas Education Agency (TEA), Center for Disease Control
(CDC), local health officials, as well as local governmental offices in an effort to
coordinate prevention. It is our intent to provide you with the most up to date
information as possible.

After much consideration, Joaquin ISD will remain open at this time unless
otherwise mandated to close. In the event that a Coronavirus (COVID–19) case is
confirmed locally, we will re-assess the situation and take additional measures.
However, we respect your authority as a parent to keep your child at home if you
choose. If you decide to keep your child at home, you must contact the school to
advise them of your decision so that an instructional plan can be developed as
academic expectations must still be met.

At the campus level, we will continue our standard practice of disinfecting daily.
Additionally, we will encourage hand washing among students and staff.
At this time, all UIL activities including practices are suspended until March 29th.
All field trips and non-essential travel will also be suspended at this time.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as this situation evolves. If you
have additional questions or concerns, please contact the Joaquin ISD
Administration Office at 936-269-3128.
