The Texas Education Agency has announced comprehensive guidelines for students to return to the 2020-2021 School Year, prioritizing their health and safety while ensuring that students receive quality instruction, whether they choose to learn in a safe on-campus environment or remotely from home.

Ben Bolt-Palito Blanco ISD has prepared (2) instructional models that promote student engagement and safeguard the well-being of students and staff. BB-PB ISD offers parents and students the option to learn in a safe ON-CAMPUS environment or ONLINE from home. These options are designed to deliver quality instruction and observe mandates and recommendations from local and state officials.

The Texas Education Agency requires that at least some on-campus instruction must be provided by the school district. Students will have the opportunity to transition to ON-CAMPUS instruction on Monday, October 12, 2020. In order to better serve students through efficient planning, it is very important that BB-PB ISD gather accurate data as to how many students will be on-campus and how many students will be learning online from home.

Please select the option that works best for your child at this time. BB-PB ISD asks that you complete the commitment form no later than October 2, 2020.

Option 1: BB-PB ISD On-Campus. Students will attend classes at their assigned campus and will receive face-to-face instruction by their assigned teacher(s). 90% attendance is required with truancy laws in effect.
