ANNOUNCEMENT; SCHOOL CLOSURE BEING EXTENDED 

Given the rapidly evolving situation with COVID-19, NEW DIANA INDEPENDENT DISTRICT FOR STUDENTS ONLY will extend the suspension of normal district operations through Friday, April 3rd in an effort support our nation’s need to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19.  Our health officials report that cases are continuing to spread in the state, and the possibility of confirmed cases in our county seems likely.  Suspending operations for this length of time will allow us to determine, in coordination with local health officials, whether the virus is continuing to have community spread or whether it has been contained.  

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has outlined the need for all communities to implement a social distancing protocol.  We want to reiterate a request to our broader community to take the following reasonable precautions to prevent the spread of the illness:

• Don’t shake hands
• Wash your hands regularly
• Limit movement within the community, especially avoiding crowded placed and maintaining 3 to 6 ft of distance between people (at least an arm’s length)
• If you are moving around in the community, don’t congregate in groups of 10 or more
• If you suspect you have symptoms of COVID-19, call your health care provider for medical advice .
• Do not leave the house if you are ill, except to access medical care

This is a quickly changing situation, and we will continue to monitor information as it comes through.

Thank you for your support and cooperation as we ensure that all members of the New Diana ISD community stay safe and healthy.

 

Please monitor the official district website at ndisd.org  

and social media accounts; FaceBook, Twitter, and Instagram for timely updates. 

Local media outlets will share official changes to the school schedule. 

 

We are committed to providing the very best for students and staff of New Diana and we appreciate everyone’s support during these challenging times.
