RISD Covid Tracker
The Texas Education Agency requires school districts to inform parents of positive cases as they occur. Rockdale ISD is publishing the information on our website and updating active cases daily on our COVID Dashboard.
Our students have been great about wearing their masks and washing their hands, but we do ask for your help in reminding them to do this and to wash their masks often, as Milam County numbers continue to rise. If students have any symptoms, please do not send them to school. We want to continue to keep our kids and staff safe and healthy.
Reminders for Sending Kids to School
Please make sure that you keep your student home if they are running a fever, have diarrhea, or are vomiting. Do not give them medicine and then send them to school as it often masks symptoms. It is important to work together in order to keep all of our students safe.
Per our Learn Safe Plan: (Click on the Learn Safe Plan button below to see the whole plan.)
In evaluating whether an individual has symptoms consistent with COVID-19, consider the following questions. Have they recently begun experiencing any of the following in a way that is not normal for them?
Fever, above 100.0 F or higher
Sore throat
New uncontrolled cough that causes difficulty breathing (or, for students with a chronic allergic/asthmatic cough, a change in their cough from baseline)
Gastrointestinal symptoms (diarrhea/vomiting/abdominal pain)
New onset of severe headache, especially with a fever
New School Hours - Start Time
Reminder!! We start school at 7:30. Your child needs to be at school at 7:30 each morning. The tardy bell rings at 7:45. If your child is late, then they may not get a breakfast.
New School Hours - End Time
Reminder!! Our school day is over at 3:00. Your child needs to be picked up by 3:00 each afternoon. We have had several students that are left at school each afternoon, and we need to have them picked up at 3:00. Please be courteous of our teachers' time, as they often have team planning or meetings at 3:00, and they would like to be able to leave on time in the afternoons, too.
Arrival and Dismissal
Please make sure that your child's car seat is on the passenger side of the car, or that they are able to get out of their car seat to exit and enter the car on the passenger side. It is not safe to have staff or students walk into the street, around the cars, and to the sidewalk.
