Due to the severity of Hurricane Laura, CISD will be transitioning into asynchronous at-home learning on Thursday, August 27th and Friday, August 28th. This means, your child will not report to campus in person on these two days. We will switch to remote learning and students have been provided with an assignment to be completed and returned when classes resume on Monday, August 31st to earn attendance credit while school is not open for in-person instruction. Extracurricular activities have been cancelled as well. Please stay safe and check on your neighbors!
Chireno Junior High Basketball is here! We will be hosting Martinsville beginning at 5:00pm this Thursday, August 27, with two girls' games and one boys' game. Please note there are guidelines in place to limit the number of people that can occupy the gym and both schools have agreed to these guidelines. Teams will enter the gym from the rear entrances while spectators will enter through the concession area. Only 4 fans per player, manager, and/or cheerleader will be permitted to enter the gym and CISD will keep a running and accurate count of those entering. Each spectator attending the games will be screened for a temperature before entering the building and will be required to wear facemasks or face shields while inside the gym. Fans will also need to social distance to the greatest extent possible when sitting in the stands and sitting in close proximity by immediate family group is encouraged. There will be no concession stand open. However, spectators will be able to bring drinks and snacks to the games. CISD is currently working on a plan to livestream these games through the school's website so that those who cannot attend can still view the games. The season is finally here...Let's go Owls!!!
