COVID-19 Communication

When a Venus ISD student or staff member is found to have COVID-19, we will communicate with parents in a variety of ways, depending on how the circumstances affect their family.
  • When a student is found to have been in close contact with a COVID-positive student or staff member, the campus administration team will contact parents directly via phone.  In the event that they are not able to reach someone at any of the numbers on file for the student, they will leave a voice message, and send an email to the email address on file.  A simple definition of close contact, is ... spending 15 minutes  (cumulative), without a mask, within 6 feet of a COVID-positive individual.  However, there are more facets to determining if someone was in close contact: Click here for the full the definition of "close contact".
  • Any time a student or staff member is found to have COVID-19, all parents of students on the campus or campuses affected will be notified via email and Skyward Family Access message.
  • When a classroom teacher is found to have COVID-19, the teacher or campus principal will communicate directly with parents of students who the teacher serves via email and Skyward Family Access message.  This message will provide information regarding how instruction will be affected by the teacher's quarantine.
  • When a student is found to have COVID-19, the parents of the student's classmates (those who attend classes with the COVID-positive student) will be notified via email and Skyward Family Access message.
  • If a student is exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms while on campus, the student will be sent to the nurse, and the nurse will contact the student's parents via phone to coordinate getting the student picked up from school.
Be aware that due to HIPPA laws, we cannot provide specific information about any COVID-19 situation, unless your child has been found to be in close contact, and even then we are limited in what we are legally allowed to share.  We're dedicated to doing everything we can to keep our students and their families safe. 

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please call your child's campus or the Administration Office at 972-366-3448, or email us at covid19@venusisd.net.  We personally respond to every phone call and email inquiry.

On-Campus Learning

We are working overtime to ensure that we can provide the safest learning environment possible for our students and staff members.  If your child is enrolled in On-Campus Learning, please ensure that they are prepared to adhere to their campus's face-covering, distancing, and sanitization requirements. 

If you have questions about the measure we are taking to keep our students and staff members safe during the COVID-19 pandemic, please review our COVID-19 Prevention, Mitigation, and Response Plan at the link below.

Connected Learning

If your child is enrolled in Connected Learning, they should be actively progressing on academic work daily.  Be sure to check out the Parent Training resource at the link below.
If your child is unable to log into their school-issued device or various learning platforms, contact your child's campus office.  If your child is experiencing issues with school-issued technology devices, click the link below to learn how to get tech support.
