Families in Houston ISD have until Sept. 25 to confirm whether they want to continue virtual learning or opt for in-person learning, the district announced Sept. 16.
The HISD Connect Parent Portal will begin asking for parents to make their choice Sept. 21.
If in-person learning is selected, the transition will occur Oct. 19, the first day of the second six-week period for HISD. Parents who do not make a selection will be have their children automatically counted as an "in-person" for planning purposes, according to the district.
District officials will use the headcounts for in-person learners to determine whether some campuses will need to be brought back in phases in order to maintain social distancing practices.
