Frequently Asked Questions
How long will schools be closed?
Seminole ISD will be meeting the educational needs of our students via distance learning for an indefinite time period. At this time, we do not know when campuses will re-open to our students. We will communicate in a punctual manner when and if changes are made.
Why is Seminole ISD closed?
Based on guidance from local, county, state and federal health officials, schools are closed to keep large groups of students and adults safe from the highly communicable Coronavirus (COVID-19). Schools, communities and large venues have been asked to practice social distancing, which reduces the spread of the virus in the population. While children may not face as much danger from the virus, they have the ability to carry the virus to older and more vulnerable residents.
