Fort Hancock I.S.D. will be closed starting March 23rd through April 3rd to support our community and health care professionals in the ongoing goal of containing the spread of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19. Additionally, all extracurricular activities, practices and athletic events are suspended while we are closed.
We do not make this decision lightly. We fully realize it presents significant difficulties to working parents. However, we are hopeful that these measures will better ensure the long-term health and safety of children, staff, and the larger community.
Fort Hancock ISD is finalizing logistics on distance learning options and the distribution of food to address children’s nutritional needs while school is out. More information and guidance will be made available on our website by March 23rd 2020. We will also take this week to further clean schools and buses and restock custodial and nursing supplies.
This is a quickly changing situation, and we will continue to monitor information, will assess conditions throughout the week, and will provide the next update by March 23rd 2020 via our website and email.
Thank you for your support and cooperation as we ensure that all members of the community in Fort Hancock I.S.D. stay safe and healthy.
