Plans are being devised by administrators for educational instruction at home. The strategies for grade-level specific lessons will roll out over the weekend with intentions to start distance learning opportunities on Monday. There is a plan for those students who do not have access to a device or internet. Campuses will be reaching out to students soon with specifics on meeting this need. Again, grade-level specific plans will be rolled out over the next couple of days. More information can be found at https://www.tylerisd.org/covid19.
