Encuesta del Distrito sobre Aceso a la Technologia
Buenas tardes familias de Cedar Hill ISD,
Como saben, estamos ofreciendo oportunidades de aprendizaje a distancia para nuestros estudiantes durante el cierre del distrito. Sin embargo, también entendemos que no todas las familias tienen acceso a Internet o a dispositivos.
Si su familia necesita ayuda con esto, complete esta encuesta por Domingo 22 de marzo y un miembro del personal de CHISD se comunicará con usted para determinar cómo puede ayudar el distrito.
Tenga en cuenta que completar esta encuesta no garantizará que su hogar reciba un dispositivo. Si se proporciona un dispositivo del distrito, las familias deberán firmar un contrato de pago y asumir la responsabilidad financiera en caso de que el dispositivo se dañe, destruya o pierda.

Additional guidance regarding academic support, field trips, student attendance, enrollment, re-entry of students, competitions and prevention are included below:
- Our district’s technology and academic departments are preparing a flex learning plan that will allow our scholars to continue learning while on self quarantine and in the event the virus affects our community. Online lessons will be available at chisd.net/flexlearning starting at 10 am CST on Monday March 16, 2020.
- Out of an abundance of caution, the district will not approve new requests for international travel until further notice; also new requests for out of state travel will not be approved until further notice. For in-state field trips, the district will proceed with caution. Assistant Superintendents, in conjunction with Health Services, will review and monitor all currently scheduled in-state field trip requests for any needed cancellations. All requests for new in-state field trips will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis with special attention being placed on trips requiring air travel, events held in closed spaces, or events with 250 or more participants.
- As a reminder, students running a fever must stay home from school until they are symptom free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication. If your child’s symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulty, please contact your medical provider immediately. Student absences will be marked as excused should your child experience these symptoms.
- CHISD will follow the guidelines and direction from University Interscholastic League (UIL). To date, UIL has not placed restrictions on student participation in Athletics, Regional, State, or National Competitions held within Texas; however, to ensure that caution is exercised when deemed necessary, the district will continue to work closely with local public health officials. Should athletics, extracurricular, or student competitions be restricted, postponed, or cancelled, parents will be immediately notified.
- Student Enrollment Before enrolling, families of scholars from countries identified by the CDC as having travel advisories for Coronavirus (COVID-19) and states identified as having community spread should contact Student Information Services via email at [email protected] or phone at 972-291-1581 ext. 4080.

- The district is providing campuses with extra disinfectant wipes, which schools use throughout the day as an additional prevention effort.
- There is currently no vaccine to prevent the Coronavirus (COVID-19). The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. However, as a reminder, CDC always recommends everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases. We are emphasizing the following, important prevention steps for all students and families as recommended by health officials:
-Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
