Hello Luling ISD Families!
As we wrap up a calendar year that was both unexpected and abnormal, we have the opportunity to reflect on the past year. We can choose to focus on the upheaval, stress, and adversity that COVID-19 brought to all of our lives. Or, we can choose to focus on our resilience, ability to adapt to sudden change with innovation, and how we have come together as a community to battle a global pandemic. One choice may result in the loss of hope, while the other allows us the necessary optimism to get us through this difficult time.
As a school district, our work became drastically different in March. Staff learned, at an alarming speed, how to provide instruction in a complete virtual environment. The district proactively purchased enough laptops for every student in order to ensure access to instruction. We adjusted processes in almost every aspect of our work. We were able to implement health and safety procedures that allowed staff and students to return to school without the spread of the virus.
In order to continue face to face instruction, we need your help. This is an opportunity for us as a community to increase our vigilance, be mindful that our actions impact not only ourselves and our families but others in the community, and take the necessary precautions to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 within Luling. It is imperative that we all work together to help slow the spread. This includes: wearing masks in public, watching your distance, washing your hands, avoiding large gatherings, and staying home when you are sick. Join us in making these sacrifices because we believe these sacrifices are worth it to keep our students in the classroom.
Please have a safe and happy holiday break and we will see our students back on January 6th!
-Mrs. Warren
Superintendent
