Tropical Storm Beta: Update #3

Good evening, ACISD staff and families.

After the Sunday afternoon 4 p.m. National Weather Service update, we have determined the following: 

• While weather conditions are looking more favorable for our area, Rockport-Fulton still remains in the cone for possible landfall so we will hold to our decision to remain closed with no virtual instruction on Monday. 

• We will send an update to staff and families regarding Tuesday’s plan on Monday morning after we’ve had time to determine the track of the storm through the night.

Please remember that local officials have asked that we caution families against visiting areas with high tides to avoid safety risks.  

We will continue to provide information as forecast models evolve. Thank you, and please remember to stay tuned to local weather services. 

Esta es una actualización sobre el cierre de escuelas relacionado con la Tormenta Tropical Beta. Después de la actualización del Servicio Meteorológico Nacional a las 4 pm del domingo por la tarde, hemos determinado lo siguiente:

Si bien las condiciones climáticas se ven más favorables para nuestra área, Rockport-Fulton aún permanece en el cono para una posible llegada a tierra, por lo que mantendremos nuestra decisión de permanecer cerrados con no hay instrucción virtual el lunes.

Enviaremos una actualización al personal y las familias con respecto al plan del martes el lunes por la mañana después de que hayamos tenido tiempo de determinar la trayectoria de la tormenta durante la noche.

Recuerde que los funcionarios locales nos han pedido que advirtamos a las familias que no visiten áreas con mareas altas para evitar riesgos de seguridad.  

Continuaremos brindando información a medida que evolucionen los modelos de pronóstico. Gracias, y recuerde estar atento a los servicios meteorológicos locales.
