Alvin ISD Approves 2020-2021 School Calendar

School districts all over Texas are working to prepare for students to return to class this fall and Alvin ISD leaders have been working on a plan to best serve area families.

That plan includes making a change to the 2020-2021 district calendar. The Board of Trustees approved a new calendar. While what the 2020-2021 school year will look like is still unclear and still may disrupted, the new calendar builds in some extra days to account for disruptions and to provide more flexibility to address student needs.

Alvin ISD has continued to plan for the reopening of campuses in the fall by creating a large committee to assist. The Alvin ISD Forward 2020 Committee consists of district administrators, campus administrators, parents, and teacher leaders.

These groups are divided into subcommittees focused on specific areas. With the status of the COVID-19 situation unclear in the coming months, Alvin ISD is making several contingency plans for the reopening schools.

A subcommittee that is focused on student learning is planning for three scenarios:

  • Face-to-face instruction - all students are back in our schools receiving in-person instruction as they did most of the 2019-2020 school year. This scenario will include a blended instructional platform that involves in-person instruction as well as the use of Google Classroom, district-wide, for specific instructional areas. This will ensure that students are familiar with the virtual platform in the event we have to quickly switch to an all-virtual setting again. 
  • Virtual instruction - all students are at home receiving remote instruction. Google Classroom will be used as the learning platform district-wide.
  • Hybrid model - some students are back in our schools receiving in-person instruction and some students are at home receiving virtual instruction. 

The chosen scenario will be based on guidelines from the Texas Education Agency and the CDC.
