IMPORTANT PARENT REMINDER ABOUT FACE MASKS
Parents,
Thank you for supporting our student's safety by providing your child a face mask each day. All face to face students are required to bring a face mask to school each day. Last week we gave out over 150 masks to students who did not bring one from home. The school does have extra face masks, but they are for emergencies. Thank you for continuing to support our campus safety measures.

Here’s a Closer Look at How Spring ISD Records and Communicates COVID-19 Cases
Since the start of the school year, we’ve been tracking COVID-19 cases in Spring ISD among students and staff, and notifying our school community about relevant cases specific to their campus or building.
When students and staff are on break or there’s an extended period of time when no one has been in our buildings, like during the recent winter storm, we often just update our dashboard at www.springisd.org/covidtracker, rather than send out communiques. Here’s a look at how we make those decisions:
Primarily, we look at the date the student or staff member was last on campus. If it’s more than 10 days ago, chances are we’ll only update the dashboard, rather than send out a communication. Of course, our Office of Emergency Management & School Safety always notifies anyone who may be a close contact if they determine there is a need to do so.
Remember, our communiques are intended to help families and staff stay informed about cases so they have a line of sight on COVID-19 activity in their school or building. But when cases no longer pose a transmission risk, the district may opt to just record the case on the dashboard. That’s why after some breaks and holidays, you will see a spike on the dashboard. Often, we’re catching up with cases that happened before or during the time off from school.
The district is always seeking to be as transparent as possible without causing undue alarm. We hope this explanation gives you some more insight into how these decisions are made.
