WISD to close schools until April 3

Wimberley ISD has extended spring break an additional two weeks due to ongoing concern about COVID-19.

“Wimberley ISD will be extending Spring Break and closing our campuses for an additional two weeks through the week of March 30-April 3 as we assess the situation in our community,” Wimberley ISD Superintendent Dwain York said in an email sent out to parents. “All meetings, campus events, practices, and extracurricular activities will be suspended.”

The email states that the decision was made in coordination with surrounding school districts for “the well-being of the broader community.”

Dripping Springs ISD also announced school closures from March 23 through April 3.

“District officials will continue to communicate with local and state health officials throughout the coming weeks as we work to minimize health and safety risks to the WISD community,” York said.

Wimberley ISD’s spring break was scheduled for March 16 through March 20.

“During Spring Break WISD administrators will finalize plans for other considerations during this closure, such as alternate learning opportunities and providing meals to students who receive free or reduced breakfast and lunch,” York said. “Details regarding online learning and the distribution of educational materials and meals will be emailed to parents and guardians via the email address listed on file in Skyward Family Access by Thursday, March 19.”
