- Decorating your living space.
- Hosting a virtual gathering with friends and family.
- Preparing traditional recipes and delivering them in a no-contact manner.
- Watching holiday-themed movies or shows.
- Hosting a small dinner with local family and friends outdoors.
- Attending an outdoor gathering.
- Visiting orchards and tree farms where hand sanitizer is used before touching objects.
- Having an outdoor parade or movie night.
- Traditional caroling or other door-to-door activities.
- Attending crowded, indoor gatherings.
- Going on hayrides with non-household members.
- Traveling outside your community for gatherings and events.
Prescreening
Prescreening for symptoms every morning is a great way to help ensure your campus stays healthy. As a reminder: All students, staff and visitors must complete the COVID-19 Screen & Go questionnaire each morning on the AISD Mobile App. You know yourself and your children the best. Prescreening continues to be one of the most effective tools we have in preventing the spread of COVID-19. If you or your child are sick: please stay home! See our COVID-19 health & safety page for more information.
