Safety & Security

Governor Abbott issued an executive order went into effect March 10, 2021 which lifted the mask mandate in Texas. At this time, and until further notice, Denison ISD will continue to enforce all existing social distancing guidelines that have been in effect since the beginning of the school year.

All students, employees, and visitors will continue to be required to wear face coverings.

In addition, all social distancing guidelines will remain in effect.

Social distancing guidelines impact a school environment much differently than they impact other organizations or places of business. COVID-19 still exists. Therefore, it remains important to the health and safety of our students and employees to continue to diligently implement social distancing guidelines.

​

Although the mask order will be lifted in Texas, school districts are required to continue to conduct contact tracing when someone contracts the virus and we are required to continue to establish quarantine periods. Not requiring face coverings in the school setting will likely increase the number of students or employees who will be required to quarantine due to close contact, and could potentially increase the number of students or employees who have contracted the virus.

We are anticipating further direction from the Texas Education Agency and the CDC in the days to come. We will carefully consider any information we receive and will keep you updated if there are any changes to Denison ISD’s health and safety protocols. Again, face coverings continue to be required and we will continue to implement all social distancing guidelines.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation during this unprecedented time.

SAVING FOR COLLEGE IN TEXAS

If college is part of your child’s future, we’ve got a plan to help save for it. The Texas Tuition Promise Fund® allows you to lock in current undergraduate tuition rates and schoolwide required fees at Texas public colleges and universities, excluding medical and dental institutions. Tuition units purchased in the plan may be used for all or a portion of these costs,

and our flexible payment options fit almost any budget.

It’s easy to open a Texas Tuition Promise Fund account.

And, the sooner you start, the more affordable a college education could be.
