Starting Tuesday, January 19, Angleton ISD will begin sending out daily health surveys for Angleton High School students to complete before coming to school each day. The surveys will help the school determine health issues related to COVID-19, checking students’ current health prior to them coming on campus.

What do students need to do?

The surveys will be sent through the students’ school email accounts every morning at approximately 5:30 a.m. Students will need to check their school emails each morning to find the link to the survey, which will be sent out new every day. The survey will close at 10:00 a.m. for those students who have off periods or Dual Enrollment classes in the morning.

This past week, AHS has been discussing the surveys with students, helping them understand how to complete the online survey and what the expectations are.

What will happen when the students do the survey?

Students will receive one of two marks after completing the survey. A green check mark will indicate that a student is cleared to come to school. If a student gets a yellow yield sign after completing the survey, the student or a parent/guardian will need to contact the campus nurse before coming to the campus. The nurse’s phone line will be listed under the yield sign on the survey, and phone lines will be open at 7:00 a.m. for students or parents/guardians to call. After the call, designated school personnel will make the determination as to whether or not the student will be allowed to come to campus that day.

What happens if the student cannot come to school?

If school personnel determine that a student should not come to campus, the student may be expected to work remotely and log in to his/her Google Classes each period if they are well enough to do so. If a student is too sick to work, the parent needs to contact the school so his/her child can be counted absent.

If a student is ill and it is not related to COVID-19, then he/she needs to follow the regular school protocols.

What happens if the student forgets to do the survey before coming to school?

If a student fails to complete the survey before coming to school, he/she will be flagged in the system, and AHS personnel will contact the student during his first period for the day to complete the survey or gather the information.

What types of questions will the student be asked?

The questions in the survey will help the schools identify potential COVID-19 issues before students come to the campus. A link to the survey questions is on the AISD Update Center.

The questions are designed to help the district collect important information to provide a safe and healthy school environment. The data collected from the survey is confidential and will be used solely to determine if a student should come to school.

See an example of the Health Survey.

Will other campuses have to do the survey?

AISD plans to roll out the daily health surveys at Angleton Junior High School starting on Monday, February 1. At this time, the district does not have a plan to roll out the surveys at the elementary campuses.

The district has already rolled out the health surveys with its staff. Since November, all AISD employees have had to complete health surveys every day before coming to work.

Students and parents/guardians should contact the school if they have questions.

We hope that you have had a special and safe holiday season and that you are all as excited as we are about the start of a new year.

During the break, Angleton ISD officials have been monitoring the COVID-19 situation in our area and have determined that school will start as normal this week with students returning to school on Tuesday, January 5.

However, we ask you not to send your child to school on Tuesday if during the break your child:

1. has had COVID-19 symptoms since this past Friday, January 1,
2. tested positive for COVID-19 during the break, or
3. was in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 within the last 7 days (since Monday, December 28, 2020).

If any of these has occurred, we ask that you contact your child’s campus office before sending him/her to school. AISD staff will be on campuses on Monday, January 4 at 8:00 a.m. to answer phones.

Again, please do not send your child to school on Tuesday, January 5 if he/she was or has been sick, tested positive, or was in close contact with someone who tested positive. 

If you have questions, please contact your child’s principal.

Parents of Online Learning students will need to contact their child’s campus if they plan to have their child return to school in person at the start of the new semester on Tuesday, January 5.

We ask that you let your child’s campus know by noon on Friday, December 18 if you plan to have your child move to On-Campus Learning next semester.

If you have questions, please contact your child’s campus.

Angleton ISD will run school next week as normally scheduled on our 2020-2021 school calendar. (The 2020-2021 school calendar can be found on the AISD website under Helpful Links on the homepage.)

We continue to review COVID-19 data from the AISD area and from local and county health officials, looking at case numbers and trends. Administration at the district and campus levels also continue to track and monitor COVID-19 cases in our district and schools on a daily basis. (See some additional COVID-19 data below.)

Although nothing associated with COVID-19 and schools is positive, the data does not indicate a need to change the operations of our schools at this time. Therefore, all AISD schools will remain open next week.

We will continue to monitor our COVID-19 data regularly and keep you updated, and please continue to contact your child’s campus if you have any questions.

Additional COVID-19 Data for AISD

• We currently have 15 active COVID-19 cases in the district. This is down from 23 last week.
• We currently have 12 active cases on campuses. This is down from 14 last week.
• Both staff and student attendance rates are normal for this school year. The student attendance rate used for this determination is the number of on-campus students who are supposed to attend school on-campus but who do not attend that day on-campus.
• We currently have an adequate supply of PPE to operate the district. This week, we received more PPE, including children sized face masks.

We hope all of you have had a nice Thanksgiving holiday. During the break, Angleton ISD officials have been monitoring the COVID-19 situation in our area, and school will start as normal tomorrow, Monday, November 30.

However, we ask you not to send your child to school Monday if during the Thanksgiving break he/she:

1. was sick during any day of the break,
2. tested positive for COVID-19 during the break, or
3. was in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 during the break.

Again, please do not send your child to school on Monday, November 30 if he/she was or has been sick, tested positive, or was in close contact with someone who tested positive. If any of these has occurred, we ask that you contact your child’s campus office on Monday.

If you have questions, please contact your child’s principal.
