As the school prepares for remote learning we will provide students with options to complete your assignments.
As a math teacher by a nature, my thoughts go out to the freshman as they have to do their algebra 1 homework by hand.....or they can go to the link below to down load a calculator to use at home. If you cannot download the app please let me know.

Update on UIL events
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordered schools closed statewide Thursday until at least until April 3 and a ban on dine-in eating and gathering in groups of more than 10 as the state ramps up efforts to battle the coronavirus.
Until the announcement, Abbott had left most of those decisions to local governments.
Abbott's order also will shut down gyms and bars. Business closures take effect at 11:59 p.m. Friday, according to the governor's office.
The governor said his order ensures Texas is following guidance provided by the federal government.
Schools were instructed to develop education plans.
The governor said it is not an order for Texans to shelter in place and does not restrict domestic travel, though he encouraged people to use drive-thru options at restaurants and other businesses to avoid being in large groups.
Texans are still allowed to go in public, go to the grocery store and to work although Abbott encouraged companies to allow workers to work from home if possible.
Government will remain open.
We ask that all JISD Stakeholders to watch JISD Website and FB Page for updates.
JISD Community:
We are currently working out the details of Gov. Abbott’s school closure. I am working with teachers and staff to formulate plans for mobile learning. Please be patient as we line everything out.
Stay safe!

I received an email from Texas FFA Association this morning. As of now, all judging contests and degree check that are scheduled through mid April are being postponed.
Just a reminder that there is NO track meet in Hamilton today.
JISD understands that there are many questions concerning Governor Abbott’s waiver to the 2020 STAAR testing. As the school district receives more instruction from the state, we will pass on the information to the community. Please be patient with us as we all navigate through this unprecedented event.
