Classes will be let out two hours early, meaning elementary schools will release students at 1 p.m., and middle and high school students will be released at 2:10 p.m. Transportation services will run two hours early as well, but late runs are canceled, according to the district.
All after-school programs, events and activities have also been canceled for the day, and the district is encouraging parents to make the necessary changes to their dismissal settings in SmartTag.
Eanes ISD will stick to its regular times, however, and requests Eanes Care Early Education and Afterschool Program parents to pick up their children early, if possible, said Claudia McWhorter, Eanes ISD chief communications officer. She also said the district encourages the cancellation of after-school activities.
