Aldine ISD Fine Arts Begin Practice

Disponible en:

The Aldine ISD performing arts programs – Band, Choir, Dance, Drill Teams, and Theatre – will begin on-campus rehearsals and practices the week of September 14, 2020. Our number one priority is the health and safety of our students and staff. All of the precautions included in the Fine Arts COVID-19 Management Plan are recommendations by Aldine ISD, the Texas Education Agency, CDC, UIL and appropriate Local Governing Bodies based on what is currently known about the coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

The Aldine ISD Fine Arts Department and teaching staff will work together to ensure that proper health and safety procedures are followed. Each secondary school will plan and organize rehearsals for their students. The directors of each program will communicate the specific dates and times for each rehearsal.

The staff and students in each program will be expected to follow all guidelines to ensure their safety and the safety of others. All directors will ensure that outdoor and indoor sessions are properly monitored following all current guidelines for supervision and capacity.  

“Education in the arts provides an essential and integral role in the lives of students. The arts connect and enhance all other areas of study, bringing together rich cultures, varied viewpoints and a deeper, meaningful knowledge of ourselves and the world around us,” Aldine ISD director of performing arts, Refugio Rodriguez said. 

All teachers and students will follow the required safety protocols, including wearing face coverings at all times and proper social distancing. Students and staff are required to bring their own face covering and water bottle. Staff and students should complete the pre-screening health questions upon entry each day. Sanitizer and hand-washing stations will be available.

Transportation for the initial two week practice sessions will not be provided by the district. As we return to a full hybrid schedule, transportation will return to all normally scheduled practices after the school day.
