COVID-19 PANDEMIC UPDATE - March 19, 2020

To slow the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in our community, all in-person classes at Richardson ISD schools have been canceled indefinitely beginning March 23. This action follows advice from the Dallas County Health and Human Services department and is in the best long-term interest of our RISD community.

Click here to watch the latest update from RISD Superintendent Dr. Jeannie Stone | en español about picking up essential items from schools, at-home learning, and meal services for students while the district is closed.

Latest updates include:
 
Picking Up Essential Items From School

RISD school front offices will be staffed on Monday and Tuesday (March 23-24) to allow employees and parents to pick up essential items left at school before Spring Break.

Essential items include student devices to aid in at-home learning, prescription medications, musical instruments, and teaching supplies for educators.

To ensure appropriate social distancing measures, please follow the school-specific procedures shared by the campus to pick up any essential items, or otherwise, call the school front office before visiting Monday or Tuesday.

 
Student Meal Services

Beginning Monday, March 23, breakfast and lunch meals will be delivered to selected areas around RISD, two times a day. Meal drop off locations and times are being finalized, and will be published, sent to parents and posted on the RISD website before the weekend.

 
At-Home Learning

March 23-24 will be used to prepare RISD teachers for the at-home learning model, and March 25-27 will be used to acclimate parents, students and teachers to how at-home learning will work.

At-home learning for students in grades PK–2 will not require a student device, but one could be used if desired. More information will be provided to parents and students with specifics related to at-home learning by grade level.

Parents without home access to the Internet can consider these free opportunities from area providers:

 
Prepare For Local Cases

While no RISD students or staff members have yet been confirmed with a case of COVID-19, that may change as more people are tested and community transmission of the virus continues. Local health authorities will alert RISD if a student or staff member is confirmed with the virus, and the district will inform parents and staff at that school.

As a reminder, health authorities believe that a person is most contagious while symptomatic, and coming into contact with a person who does not yet have symptoms poses little to no risk.

At this point of the outbreak, any person with fever, cough, or shortness of breath should self quarantine and consult with their medical provider, regardless of whether they have come into contact with a person known to have a confirmed case of COVID-19.

 
Parents and employees can expect frequent email messages with updates, and stakeholders can visit our COVID-19 Information and Resources page (www.risd.org/cv19) for the latest information.

Enroll Now for the Upcoming 2020-2021 School Year
Students currently enrolled and returning to RISD next school year will need a unique code, called a snapcode, for each returning student in order to enroll. Snapcodes and specific enrollment information were sent home to parents by each RISD school the week of February 17 as follows:

  • Current elementary students – take home packets
  • Current junior high and high school students – U.S. mail
  • All current students – message to current primary contact email address on file with child’s school

If you have not received enrollment information and a snapcode from your child’s school, please contact your child’s current school. Please note that students new to RISD will not require a snapcode to enroll for the upcoming 2020-2021 school year.

All enrollment for the upcoming 2020-21 school year must be completed online – there are no paper forms to complete. Parents who would like assistance with online enrollment or who would like to use a school device or school WiFi to complete enrollment are welcome to visit their child’s school during normal school hours.

To enroll online, or for more information about online enrollment for the upcoming 2020-21 school year, please visit RISD’s online enrollment site.
