What is Alief ISD doing to ensure the health and safety of students, parents and staff during curbside pick-up?
For safety purposes, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)'s recommendation for social distancing must be adhered to in order to protect the Alief ISD community and staff.
In order to maintain and honor CDC-recommended social distancing, individuals who drive through the curbside pick-up should not leave their vehicles.
Those who wait in line for curbside pick-up must also practice social distancing, wear a mask, and stay at least six feet apart from the next individual in line.
During curbside pick-up, we ask for patience as our staff members try to accommodate the needs of our children as quickly as possible while complying with CDC's social distancing recommendation. -
