Chilton ISD

Good Evening Pirate Nation, Effective Monday, July 6, 2020, all students, employees, and visitors to Chilton ISD facilities will be required to wear face coverings. This requirement is in an effort to comply with Governor Abbott's executive order. Staff members will be allowed to take off face coverings when working in isolation or when eating. Students will be allowed to take off face coverings when exercising and eating. We anticipate this order will persist throughout the remainder of the summer. We are working to develop a comprehensive plan for school reopening. We anticipate the release of our reopening plan on Tuesday, July 14, 2020. Thank you for your continued patience and support.

Good Afternoon Pirate Nation, Registration for the 2020-2021 school year begins Monday, July 6, 2020. Registration will be held Monday thru Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. We are asking all new and returning students to Chilton ISD complete the registration process. Returning students can begin the process online via parent portal or traditionally in the Central Administration office. However, students new to the district will be required to register in person due to document verification requirements. Because we are planning for the school year, we ask that all parents complete this process as soon as possible. Please note that beginning July 6, 2020, all visitors to Chilton ISD facilities will be required to wear face coverings for the safety of students and staff members. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Canada at 254-546-1228 or lcanada@chiltonisd.org.

Good Evening Pirate, As an additional precaution, we will be suspending strength and conditioning workouts through July 13, 2020. Though we have had no positive results for COVID 19 as a result of our workouts, we are suspending our workouts in an abundance of caution given the current rise in cases in the Centeal Texas area. We are tremendously enthused by the hard work and commitment of our student-athletes, but we want to continue to evaluate our practices to ensure we are taking every measure to keep our students safe. If you have any questions concerning workouts, please contact Coach James. Be responsible and stay safe!

Please see an update from the Chilton ISD Athletic Director, Chris James, regarding Strength and Conditioning Workouts: June 15, 2020 Dear Parents, Athletes, and Athletic Personnel, Thank you for an amazing start to our 2020-2021 athletic programs. We have had tremendous attendance during our first week of summer conditioning and workouts. After one week of evaluating our programs and setup, there are a few changes that we will need to make: 1. We will extend our check-in stations toward the main parking lot of the secondary campus. We want to ensure that all students are screened before they begin interacting with students and personnel. 2. During the screening process, we are going to require all athletic personnel and students to wear face coverings. We urge cloth, reusable coverings. However, disposable coverings are appropriate. Coverings must be worn during check-in, during station rotations, and during interactions with other in which social distancing cannot be maintained. Students can remove masks during intense, individual workouts and drills. 3. After check-in and temperature scans, students should sanitize hands prior to interacting with staff and other students presents. The Chilton ISD Athletic Personnel will continue to sanitize all equipment and stations during rotations. Additionally, we will continue to have students sanitize hands after each station rotation. As we work through refining our processes, we will continue to keep you informed regarding changes. We will continue to have some disposable masks on hand for this week, however, we encourage all parents to ensure that students have access to masks in the upcoming weeks for strength and conditioning workouts. If you have any questions, please contact me at 254-546-1214 or via email at cjames@chiltonisd.org. Chris James, Athletic Director Chilton ISD
