Round Rock ISD COVID Update

As COVID cases continue to fall in Williamson and Travis counties, Round Rock ISD will be modifying certain mitigation measures beginning Monday, Feb. 21, 2022. Starting Monday, masks will be strongly recommended for staff, students and visitors while indoors for those who are fully vaccinated, and strongly recommended at all times for those who are unvaccinated or immunocompromised. Also, visitors will once again be allowed on campus during school hours at the discretion of the school principal.

Round Rock ISD COVID Update

We are encouraged by the news that the Round Rock-Austin area appears to be past the peak of the Omicron variant surge, according to news from Austin Public Health, and we are certainly experiencing improving conditions on our campuses. To help sustain this trend, our COVID protocols remain in place, including masks, social distancing when possible, enhanced air filtration, and closing classes if there are a significant number of epi-linked COVID cases. We will evaluate again on Feb. 18, whether to adjust protocols, including allowing visitors to return to campuses.

Spring Semester COVID-19 Update

We are excited to welcome students back to campus tomorrow, Wednesday, Jan. 5. On Dec. 30, a COVID-19 protocol update was emailed to families, informing that masks will continue to be required in Round Rock ISD facilities. Additionally, we will continue to limit visitors on campus due to the surge in COVID-19 cases in Williamson and Travis counties and across the state and nation.

COVID-19 Protocols Update

With classes resuming in Round Rock ISD on January 5, students, staff and families can help prevent the spread of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 by getting boosted if eligible, getting tested prior to returning to school at Round Rock ISD’s COVID-19 testing site, or at any of several community sites, and by wearing a mask when on campus and facilities.

COVID-19 Protocols to be updated for Spring semester

With the welcome news that COVID-19 vaccines are now available for children ages 5 to 11, we are amending our COVID-19 protocols to allow for a more traditional school environment. Beginning on Jan. 19, we will once again allow visitors on our campuses and transition to strongly encouraging mask use for all students, staff and visitors while at campuses and district facilities.  

Round Rock ISD drops to Level Orange/Stage 4 of Mask Matrix

The Williamson County and Cities Health District (WCCHD) announced Monday, November 15, that the health authority will be using the Center for Disease Control and Prevention Data Tracker for determining risk-based phases in Williamson County. Due to this change, Round Rock ISD is dropping to Orange/Stage 4 on the District’s Mask Matrix. Masks are still required in District schools and facilities in this phase. 

Mask requirement reinstated for Round Rock ISD schools, Mask Matrix approved

The Round Rock ISD Board of Trustees approved reinstating the District’s mask requirement during a Sept. 22 called meeting. The extension of the mask requirement, which had expired on Sept. 17, was originally scheduled for discussion and potential action during the Board’s Sept. 14 regular meeting, but was postponed due to public disruptions.  

Masks in Schools and Facilities

The mask requirement, which includes an opt-out exemption for specific health or developmental justifications, was approved by the Board of Trustees with an expiration time and date of 11:59 p.m. on Friday, September 17. The Board intended to consider an extension of the requirement at its meeting this week. Unfortunately, the meeting was disrupted by attendees and the Board had to adjourn the meeting before Trustees were able to discuss masks. The meeting has been rescheduled for Wednesday, September 22, which was the earliest possible opportunity. In the meantime, we are asking our staff, students and visitors to continue to abide by our current mask requirement.

Thank you for helping keep our community safe and healthy

As we wrap up our third week of the 2021-2022 school year, I want to take the opportunity to thank all of you for helping us keep our campuses as safe as possible for our staff and students. Our teachers, administrators, and support staff are working hard to provide the best possible learning experiences for our students while continuing to navigate the challenges of a pandemic. As I visit schools every day, I am so proud to witness the flexibility and determination our students and staff demonstrate each day.
