San Marcos Consolidated ISD students are expected to return to their respective campuses, unless already medically exempt, beginning April 12.
SMCISD made the announcement in a letter to families Thursday. The district said it will maintain its COVID-19 protocols, including social and physical distancing, mask wearing, hand washing and sanitizing all areas of its schools. SMCISD will provide additional dividers and face covering at all of its campuses.
“Our main goal is to bring students back really just to check on them mentally, socially, academically, and also to prepare for next year,” said Andrew Fernandez, SMCISD Executive Director of Communications and Community Relations. “We know students are going to be back on our campuses come August. With our staff being vaccinated, our safety protocols working throughout this school year, we’ve seen only four cases over the last three weeks so that’s significantly lower than how we began this yea
