PASADENA
INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT Pasadena ISD continues to monitor the spread of COVID-19 and receives regular guidance from, Harris County Public Health, Texas Education Agency Commissioner and other local, state and federal agencies regarding response, prevention and mitigation efforts. This direction will continue to evolve based on COVID-19 conditions across the state and our local community. We will continue to educate our students, staff, and community members about the importance of frequent hand washing; covering a cough or sneeze; not touching one’s eyes, nose, and mouth; staying home when sick; and other measures to help prevent the spread of communicable diseases. Hand sanitizer will be available throughout every campus and district facility. Pasadena ISD Custodial Services will continue to routinely clean and disinfect all facilities, including cleaning frequently touched objects and surfaces with approved germicidal agents which are effective against multiple disease-causing viruses and bacteria. Pasadena ISD continues to remain 100% open. Protocols and information for parents have been updated. These protocols, addressing CDC recommendations, will be revisited every 6 months to address changes.
