Off-Campus Instruction Directions
Transitioning to off-campus instruction can be frustrating. We know there will be numerous questions, and we are working through them with your help. Today, detailed instructions for each campus are posted on our website at https://www.brownwoodisd.org/Page/2274.
There are links from our homepage (https://www.brownwoodisd.org) and our COVID-19 page (https://www.brownwoodisd.org/COVID19).
If you have questions, there are emails listed along with Facebook pages with the latest information available.
Grading
As of March 6th, all student course grades are considered frozen. All completed off-campus instructional materials will be assessed, which will allow teachers, parents, and students to monitor progress on the concepts covered. Careful consideration will be given on how completed coursework will impact course grades, GPA, and class rank.

Yesterday’s announcement from Brown County schools aligns with today’s executive order by Governor Abbott. Our transition away from on-campus instruction for students continues through, at least, April 3rd. Food service continues for breakfast and lunch. We have increased our meal counts each day and fed 328 meals today.
