Due to an upward trend in local COVID cases, Aldine ISD has determined that its mask requirement will remain in effect until further notice. Upon return from the holiday, the district will continue to require students, staff, and visitors to wear face masks at all district facilities and events.

Superintendent LaTonya M. Goffney said that all pandemic-related decisions are based on the data and facts available to Aldine ISD, and the district will continue to prioritize safety while never sacrificing learning.

“Since the beginning of the pandemic, every decision we have made has been for the safety and well-being of our Aldine ISD community,” she said. “We will continue to adjust our protocols as appropriate and are confident that we will get through this pandemic together. Please continue to protect yourself and others by taking precautionary measures to prevent infection of all viruses, including COVID-19: wash your hands often, cover your coughs and sneezes and keep a safe distance from others.”

While the COVID-19 vaccine is not required, the district encourages all eligible students and staff to get vaccinated. AISD will continue to work with community partners to help ensure the community is educated and has access to testing and vaccines.

The district will continue to monitor local and school cases to further adjust health and safety protocols as appropriate. Aldine ISD’s COVID-19 dashboard will also continue to be updated daily with active lab-confirmed cases of Aldine staff and students who have been in district schools and facilities. District health and safety protocols can be found on the Health Alerts page. Harris County provides COVID-19 Testing Centers to meet the needs of the community. Click here to register for a free COVID-19 test at a site near you.
