As we continue to see COVID cases increase in both students and staff, we want to assure you that we are consistently looking at the data and evaluating what we can do to make our campuses safe and keep families better informed. We understand that there is not a “one size fits all” solution, as case rates are very different between campuses. Therefore, we have developed a color-based system for determining the COVID status of the campus. See graphic below.

If your scholar is feeling I'll, and If the answer to any of the below (CLICK ON LINK BELOW) questions is yes, please contact the Director of Alternative Learning Services at 972-923-4695 or abenskin@wisd.org for instructions.

The purpose of this guidance is to help HSoC scholars remain on task and on schedule to graduate in the spring semester if not earlier. The advent of the COVID-19 pandemic has forced some scholars to work from home during their quarantine.

It is the expectation that any student that may have been quarantined due to COVI-19 is expected to work from home for a minimum of 360 minutes a day.

Students are expected to check school and or personal email daily for information. If HSoC students are in need of a device to continue their efforts to work and excel in school.
