Transportation will be provided beginning at 2PM for CHS and C9 students, followed by middle school students, then elementary students. Parents are able to come to campuses now to pick up their child. We will keep families informed on the situation regarding classes tomorrow and the rest of the week.

CISD Families - If you are located in a high-risk area for flooding and you wish to pick up your child from school early, please contact your child's campus and campus staff with work with you on coordinating a pick up.
CISD Families - Due to an internet outage affecting the entire Cleveland area, all campuses will not have phone services until the internet is repaired.

2.) Summer Youth Sports Camp: June 3rd 9am-4pm

Pre-registrations are starting to take place now at different locations! This is a great camp, especially if parents are needing activities for their kids to do while they work. They will receive a camp T-shirt, snacks/lunch, and be able to learn skills. Ages 6-14. This is their first year partnering with Overtime Athletics, so they would love for it to be successful so that they can expand into other areas of Cleveland with more coaches and resources for our area.

Due to the power outage at the C9 campus, the district has made the decision to close C9 for the remainder of the day. Parents of car riders may pick up their students at the Cleveland High School campus. Car riders will remain at CHS until they are able to be picked up. Bus riders will be dropped off at their normal bus stops beginning at 11:00AM.
C9 continues to be without electricity.
At 9AM, C9 students will be transported to CHS for holding in the Gym while the electricity situation continues to be assessed and repaired at C9.
C9 Families - The power situation is being assessed at the C9 campus. If power is not restored by 8AM, C9 students will be transported to the CHS gym for holding. We will continue to update C9 families throughout the morning.
It is not just "an eclipse", this will be "THE ECLIPSE" for Texas. Cleveland ISD has decided to close for Monday, April 8th to allow students and staff time to be home with family & friends to experience this once in a lifetime learning opportunity event to make memories, take pictures, make videos together.
The next eclipse is not until 2044 and it will be nowhere near Texas.
Please remember to follow the recommended safety protocols for properly viewing the solar eclipse. We will see all students and staff back on Tuesday, April 9th.
