This year has certainly been a different type of year, but we have made incredible strides in creating a safe and effective learning environment for our Mitchell Bulldogs. I want to take a moment to thank you for embracing the changes we have made during the year. While we have missed having parent on campus, we know that the choices we have made have increased the safety of all our students and staff. As we edge toward Christmas, I want to remind you of a few things:
Christmas parties will be Friday, December 18. Unfortunately, we will not allow visitors in the building during our Christmas celebrations. Each grade level is making plans regarding food, but please know that all outside food will need to be store-bought, individually served, and delivered the day before the party.
COVID guidelines for BISD have changed in response to the adjusted Brazos County Health Department and CDC guidelines. Please review those changes in the blog post. If your child tests positive at any time, please email that information to mitchell.covid@bryanisd.org.
This week, we DO NOT have early release at all.
Next week, we will have early release on FRIDAY, December 18 at 2:10.
Christmas Break is December 19-January 4. Classes resume on Tuesday, January 5.
No early release this week.

Bryan ISD will begin following new Brazos County Health District guidelines regarding the quarantine period for people coming into close contact with a lab-confirmed COVID-19 case.
The new guidelines are as follows:
- The quarantine can end after Day 10 without testing and if no symptoms have been reported during daily monitoring.
- When testing resources are sufficient and available, then quarantine can end after Day 7 with a negative test result, and if no symptoms were reported during daily monitoring. Testing should occur 5-7 days after exposure.
These changes are only for people in close contact with a lab-confirmed COVID-19 case and go into effect immediately. Employees and parents of students currently in quarantine for close contact will be notified individually if this changes their quarantine status. Everyone entering a Bryan ISD campus or building must continue to self-monitor for symptoms, wear a mask, and social distance.
We are making this change only after consulting with the Brazos County Health District, which works with both the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and being assured by these organizations this is in the best interest of the health of students and employees.
This update for the quarantine period for close contact is now reflected in the Bryan ISD Return to Learn Plan available at www.bryanisd.org/returntolearn.
