Sheldon Elementary Home

March 16, 2020 Dear Sheldon ISD Families and Community Members, Sheldon ISD Superintendent Dr. King Davis has announced that Sheldon ISD will extend the suspension of normal district operations through Friday, April 10, in an effort to support the nation’s need to flatten the curve of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. This temporary closure also includes the cancellation of all district-related events such as athletics, fine arts, clubs and organizations, and all other gatherings until further notice. The Houston area continues to see an increasing number of confirmed cases of COVID-19, and health officials indicate this number is expected to continue to increase as more testing is made available. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has outlined the need for all communities to implement a social distancing protocol; and the President has publicly shared that the community should not gather in groups larger than 10 people. Also, earlier today, the Texas Education Agency confirmed that Texas Governor Greg Abbott has waived the STAAR testing requirements this school year. In addition, the district will continue to provide breakfast and lunches each weekday for children ages 1-18 at Carroll Elementary, Royalwood Elementary, Sheldon Elementary, Null Middle School, and C. E. King Middle School. Breakfast will be available for pick up from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m.; and lunch will be available for pick up from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Please remember that students MUST be present when walking or driving up in order to receive their meals for accounting purposes. Lastly, district administrators have been working hard to provide remote learning opportunities for our students. Tomorrow (Tuesday, March 17) expect an additional callout with more information about our remote learning plan. As always, please email communications@sheldonisd.com if you have additional questions, comments, or concerns. #SHELDONSTRONG Helpful Resources Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): https://www.cdc.gov County Public Health Department: http://publichealth.harriscountytx.gov. --------------------------- 16 de Marzo de 2020 Estimadas familias y miembros de la comunidad de Sheldon ISD: El Superintendente de Sheldon ISD, Dr. King Davis, ha anunciado que Sheldon ISD extenderá la suspensión del distrito hasta el viernes 10 de abril, en un esfuerzo por apoyar la necesidad de la nación de aplanar la curva de la pandemia de coronavirus (COVID-19).
