Student Reminders
On Campus Students:
- Have a mask and be prepared to wear it all day.
- Have headphones that connect to your device. You will need these to listen to any teacher interaction.
- Check your schedule in Skyward to see if any courses have changed. We will not print schedules at school so make sure to either print a copy or access it on your phone.
- All students who are physically on campus are required to be in their assigned location. At no time should a student who is on campus be attending class virtually outside the classroom.
- Ensure that you are in dress code.
- Remember that all Zoom meetings are recorded and all IP addresses are accessible. Any inappropriate actions will be dealt with severely.
- Have a great school year!
Virtual Students:
- Have an adequate work area at home. No distracting materials should be seen.
- Make sure your camera works. Part of being a virtual student is being visible on the camera at all times.
- Make sure your clothing is appropriate.
- Remember that all Zoom meetings are recorded and all IP addresses are accessible. Any inappropriate actions will be dealt with severely.
- Have a great school year!
From the Nursing Department
Each year, the state of Texas requires students to complete a vision and hearing screening and a spinal screening for age-appropriate individuals.
Some virtual learning students have not been screened this school year. If you would like to schedule an appointment to have your student screened by their campus nurse, email latasha.estes@bisdmail.net or call 817.245.0256.
If you prefer not to bring your student in for screening, the Department of State Health Services encourages parents to take their children to a medical provider for well child exams. During these appointments you can ask for screenings. If your child is screened, we encourage you to send us the results of those screens for our records.
Signs of a possible vision problem include:
Squinting
Tilting the head
Sitting too close to the television
Constant eye rubbing
Abnormal alignment or movement of the eyes
Signs of a possible hearing problem include:
Your child wants volumes louder than other members of the family
Your child often says “What?”
It seems like your child isn’t listening
Your child seems to hear fine sometimes and not others
Signs your child may have an abnormal spinal curvature:
Uneven shoulders or hips
Ribs that are prominent or stick out in one area
Muscles that are prominent in the lower back or bulge on one side
If you think your child has a vision or hearing problem, or an abnormal spinal curvature, please contact the school nurse. Discuss your concerns with them right away.
CDC Travel Regulations
Please be informed of the current executive order regarding international air travel into the United States. The order requires individuals to obtain a negative COVID test prior to international flights into the U.S. and self-quarantine based on these CDC guidelines:
All air passengers get tested 3-5 days after travel AND quarantine for 7 days after travel. Even if the person tests negative, they need to remain home for 7 days. Individuals who do not get a test 3-5 days after travel need to quarantine for 10 days.
