Important Announcement Regarding Exposure to COVID-19
Any student or school employee who has been exposed to a confirmed case
of COVID-19 needs to stay home, quarantined, for a minimum of 14 days.
This is regardless of test results and includes those who have received a
negative COVID-19 test result. It is very important to remember that individuals
cannot test out of quarantine after a close contact. The school will provide
distance learning for those students in quarantine. If a student is simply sick
with something that isn’t COVID and he or she expects to be back in a day or
two, the district will not provide distance learning during those days. Plan for Opening School in the Fall On Thursday, August 6, the Houston School Board approved the recommendation of the HPS
planning group and selected Learning Model Parameter 3 as the plan to restart school since it
keeps students and staff safe while affording students, staff and parents the most consistency
and normalcy.

In Learning Parameter 3, the schools will all be in Scenario 2. In Scenario 2, all students will be
coming to school on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, according to the school calendar.
On Wednesdays, the elementary and preschool students will have a half-day of school onsite in the
morning and will go home for the afternoons so the teachers have time to virtually work with those
students who have selected to be in distance learning all the time or who need extra assistance.
We will have Hurricane Watch available for the elementary students.
On Wednesdays, high school students from Houston High School and Summit Learning Center
will engage in distance learning in the morning and will have the afternoon to virtually get extra
assistance from their teachers or complete the assignments that were given in the morning classes.
Attendance will be taken during each of the morning classes, so it is required that students log on
for each class. On the first Wednesday, September 9, the high school students will attend
classes in person in the morning to learn the logistics of the subsequent distance learning
Wednesdays.
