A wonderful opportunity has been given to students in the Information Technology Academy.

COVID and Safety Updates
Beginning this week, you will receive communication through School Messengers for all positive COVID cases of staff and students at Innovation, Design, Entrepreneurship. This will include ALL positive cases (even those traced back to off campus exposure). This will allow you to be informed on how the current variant is impacting our campus.
WE WILL CONTINUE TO DIRECTLY NOTIFY ALL CLOSE CONTACTS AND FOLLOW CDC GUIDELINES FOR QUARANTINE AND ISOLATION.
Dallas ISD is working hard to put safety procedures in place while ensuring that students can participate as fully as possible in the educational environment.
The district does have a DISD COVID Dashboard that updates daily with the COVID cases reported across the campus. As you can see, we have 2 recorded cases. One was prior to school, and one was this week.
All staff and students are REQUIRED TO WEAR A MASK and social distance as much as possible to prevent the spread and uptick of quarantines.
Our first vaccine clinic on campus will be September 22, 2021. Staff, students over 18, and those student WITH parent permission will be able to receive their vaccination on campus. The 2nd dose will be provided October 13th on campus.
MOST IMPORTANTLY IF YOU FEEL SICK, STAY HOME AND GET TESTED!!!!!
We must take care of each other during this pandemic.
