COVID-19 Precautions
As we are closely monitoring the COVID-19 (coronavirus) in the Houston area, the District remains in contact with local, state and federal health agencies, all of which have stated that no action is required of school districts at this time. As advised, Alief ISD will continue to hold classes at this time, and we will continue to take all future guidance from local health officials regarding school operations.
Recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued updated guidance for schools to prepare and take action for COVID-19 which includes practices currently in place in Alief ISD. Such practices include:
- Alief ISD campus custodial staff will continue to disinfect all district campuses and buildings with hospital-grade products.
- AISD nurses are on staff at every campus and implementing practices and procedures with guidance from local health agencies.
- All AISD campuses are provided a supply of hand sanitizer for staff, students and visitors.
If your student is sick, please keep them home. The AISD fever policy states that students and staff who have a fever of 100-degrees Fahrenheit or higher should remain home until they are fever-free for at least 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication.
Alief ISD has set up a webpage dedicated to information, resources and district updates concerning COVID-19 www.aliefisd.net/coronavirus.
