REMOTE LEARNING SURVEY for the 2021-2022 School Year:
Pasadena ISD is already busy planning for the upcoming 2021-2022 school year. We are hopeful that COVID-19 infection rates will continue to decrease. As the reduction in these numbers continue and vaccinations become more readily available, we encourage all students to return to face-to-face instruction for the 2021-2022 school year. However, we understand there are valid reasons and concerns for not having your child return for face-to-face instruction for some families. For this reason, Pasadena ISD will offer a Remote Learning opportunity for which students must apply.
There will be two educational options for 2021-2022, including:
1. In-person, face-to-face instruction at the assigned home campus 2. Online from home while enrolled in remote learning
The district would like to know if families plan on sending their children back to learn face-to-face or with a remote learning option. Below you will find a link to the Remote Learning Survey in Skyward to indicate your preference. The survey is available in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese. Please respond to the survey by Sunday, March 21st.

Pasadena Independent School District requested, and was approved, to add three asynchronous “At Home Learning” days for all students to work remotely from home. The learning days that have been added to the Spring 2021 Semester Calendar will provide additional planning time so that teachers can master lesson design for teaching face-to-face and virtual students at the same time.
Please note these three days are not student holidays. Students will work from home and earn credit for the school day and each class. All students are required to log-in to their learning platform, complete assignments from teachers, and continue to make academic progress.
Our first Asynchronous “At Home Learning” day is Monday, February 1, 2021. All students must log-in to their Homeroom Teacher’s Zoom Meeting at 8:10. At that time, attendance will be taken, and instructions will be given for the school day.
The other two district Asynchronous “At Home Learning” Days are:
-
Monday, March 1 &
-
Monday, April 12
Thank you for your continued support and for your willingness to work with us during this challenging time to ensure your student continues to receive a quality education.
If your student must attend school on the District’s Asynchronous “At Home Learning” Days, please call the Counseling Center at 713-740-0460 to discuss arrangements.

New PISD Attendance Policy Effective January 6, 2021:
All Face-to-Face students who are not present at school will be counted absent. Face-to-Face students will be unable to work virtually from home be counted present for their attendance. If you would like to change your child to virtual learning, please call the school. Please remember changing their learning format is a 6 weeks commitment.
Parents of students who are marked absent in a face-to-face classroom will be notified at the end of the day they were marked absent. Parents of remote learners will be notified of an absence in a remote setting within 48 hours to allow for posting of assignments by the 11:59 deadline. As always, if you receive an automated notification and you have questions, please contact the campus at 713-740-0460. In addition, after three days of unexcused absences, based on Texas truancy laws, a truancy warning letter will be mailed to the home address and emailed to the parent.
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Our priority is to keep students safe during their time at school. As a result, Park View Intermediate will once again implement the A.L.I.C.E. safety procedure. The campus staff has been trained to initiate A.L.I.C.E. (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate) if an intruder enters our building. The A.L.I.C.E. protocol is an option based strategy relying on situational awareness. Students will soon watch a short video at school followed by a teacher-led discussion using frequently asked questions as a guide. At least 2 more A.L.I.C.E. activities will follow throughout the year. Please visit our website at www.pasadenaisd.org and click on the Keeping Pasadena ISD Safe tab to access the introductory video and additional information. If you have any specific questions, please feel free to call Park View Intermediate at 713-740-0460. We are happy to answer any questions you have about the A.L.I.C.E. protocol.
Estimados padres/tutores:
Nuestra tarea es mantener a los estudiantes seguros mientras están en la escuela. Por lo tanto Park View Intermediate nuevamente implementará el procedimiento de seguridad A.L.I.C.E. El personal de la escuela ha sido capacitado para iniciar el protocolo de Alertar, Cerrar, Informar, Contrarrestar y Evacuar (conocido en inglés como A.L.I.C.E.) si algún intruso entra a su edificio. El protocolo A.L.I.C.E. es una estrategia basada en opciones que depende de tomar conciencia de las situaciones. Los estudiantes verán un breve video en la escuela, seguido de una discusión dirigida por un maestro, que usará como guía una serie de preguntas frecuentes. Durante el resto del año habrá al menos otras dos actividades. Les pedimos que visiten nuestro sitio, www.pasadenaisd.org y que seleccionen Keeping Pasadena ISD Safe para acceder al video introductorio y más información adicional. Si tienen alguna pregunta específica, no duden en llamar a Park View Intermediate al 713-740-0460. Con todo gusto responderemos a cualquier pregunta que tengan acerca del protocolo A.L.I.C.E.
