Pearland ISD has extended the suspension of normal district operations through Friday, April 10, in an effort to support the nation’s need to flatten the curve of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Houston area continues to see an increasing number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 and health officials report that this number is expected to continue to increase as more testing is made available. The health of Pearland ISD students, staff and community is the district’s top priority and we are working to ensure students have access to remote learning to continue to participate in learning activities from a remote location, outside a school building. 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has outlined the need for all communities to implement a social distancing protocol. The President has publicly shared that the community should not gather in groups larger than 10 people in order to slow the spread of COVID-19. Pearland ISD urges all parents, students and staff to follow the social distancing protocols to better ensure the long-term health and safety of all. 

Pearland ISD is currently offering free curbside Grab & Go meals to all students ages 18 and under twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays, 11 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. for the duration of our school district closure. On Mondays, parents will receive 6 meals per student (3 breakfasts and 3 lunches), and on Thursdays, parents will receive 4 meals per student (2 breakfasts and 2 lunches). The meals will come with reheating and storage instructions. All students must be present to receive meals; adult meals will not be served. 

According to the TEA, Pearland ISD will not need to make up the days if we provide remote instruction. We will continue to keep parents updated should anything change. 

No. Given the impact of COVID-19, Governor Greg Abbott used his statutory authority as the governor of Texas under Texas Government Code, §418.016 to suspend annual academic assessment (STAAR) requirements for the remainder of the 2019–2020 school year. 

Remote learning is providing students with learning opportunities when the teacher is unable to provide face to face instruction to the students. Remote learning website available at: www.pearlandisd.org/online  

Remote learning will begin the week of March 23 and it will look different based on grade levels.   

For elementary and middle schools, there will be a menu of options. These options will include a variety of learning opportunities for students to choose from – some of these will involve technology but others will not as we know some students may not be able to access a device.    

Teachers also know that remote learning in a time like this is unprecedented and so we know that replicating the school day is not possible. Every student’s situation is different, so please know that teachers will be flexible and understanding of student needs. Our number one priority is that all students are safe.

Parents should log into Skyward Family Access to ensure their contact information is up to date. 

Parents should have received a phone call from their child’s teacher checking on the family well-being and assessing the student’s readiness for e-learning. Pearland ISD’s technology team is working to provide devices and hotspots to students in need of them. If you did not receive a phone call from your child’s campus, make sure to email their teacher, AP or school counselor directly. 

If your child is struggling with work or have questions, please reach out to their teachers directly. Teachers will be in continual contact with students using the method of communication typically used throughout the year. 

Due to COVID-19 our offices and campuses are currently closed. You may call the district main line at 281-485-3203 between the hours of 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., Monday-Friday, and the district receptionists will be able to connect you with the appropriate staff.

Due to the current school closures, Pearland ISD cannot predict the availability of a safe testing site for the summer administration of the CBE tests. Credit by Examination is scheduled to be administered in June and July 2020 and the Kindergarten Acceleration examination is scheduled for June 9, 2020.  Every effort will be made to provide these testing opportunities to students in Pearland ISD who have registered.  Please continue to monitor the Pearland ISD website for updates.   

Due to the unusual circumstances of state-mandated school closures, Pearland ISD is not currently accepting registration forms for the June and July 2020 CBE tests or the June 9 Kindergarten Acceleration test.  Pearland ISD will provide opportunities for registration and administration of these exams if a safe testing environment can be provided at a later date this summer prior to the first day of school.  Please continue to monitor the Pearland ISD website for updates.
