Foster Elementary, SAISD

Today we issued two mandates. We strongly believe that the best path forward as a school district is to require face masks for students and staff, and to require staff to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Our focus is the health and safety of our staff, students, and community.

Parents, do you have questions about the COVID-19 vaccination for your child? Children ages 12 and older are now eligible. Join us for a virtual parent town hall about COVID-19 vaccinations on Thursday, July 29, at 4 p.m. youtube.com/saisdcommunicati… or saisd.zoom.us/j/86319176434

It's National Custodial Worker’s Day! SAISD custodial workers are key to the District’s success. They help keep our students safe and campuses sparkling clean. Please join us in showing our appreciation for these often behind-the-scenes employees who keep our campuses running!
