2020–21 School Year to Begin with Virtual Instruction / Año escolar 2020–21 comenzará con instrucción virtual

The health and safety of our students and staff are at the forefront of all of our decisions.

Even though the first day of school is Aug. 18, we know that our teachers and staff need to report to school weeks before that date.

Given our public health conditions in Travis County, Austin ISD will suspend in-person education and deliver virtual instruction for the first three weeks of the 2020–21 school year.

We will continue to look to federal, state and local authorities for guidance and directives. Additional information is forthcoming.
