#HappeningToday AISD will have their first of two virtual briefings to give families an idea of what back to school will look like. I will be following along and posting here, and that stream will be on AISD’S Facebook page.

THREAD:
AISD starting by saying families &staff have asked for more check-ins like this, even if they don’t have answers. They also promise the virtual learning will be more comprehensive in the fall, acknowledging instruction in spring was inconsistent family to family/school to school.
Right now, the plan is online learning only from August 18-September 4, and once the district receives guidance that it’s safe to return in person, families will still have the option to go 100 percent remote.
