For the safety of all our students and staff, Austin ISD is canceling classes Tuesday, Feb. 16, Wednesday, Feb. 17 and Thursday, Feb. 18. This Friday, Feb. 19 will be an asynchronous learning day. 

No students will report to campus Feb. 16., Feb. 17, Feb. 18 or Feb. 19, and buses will not transport students. There will be no remote instruction Feb. 16, Feb. 17 or Feb. 18 as internet and power outages may affect students’ ability to attend online classes. 

Austin ISD will apply for a waiver from the Texas Education Agency to avoid needing bad weather makeup days. The district will communicate with families at a later date about TEA’s decision or any potential changes to the calendar. 

The district will continue to monitor conditions. For the most up-to-date information, families and staff are encouraged to visit the district's website or follow Austin ISD on social media. 

For Austin ISD community members or staff whose home is without heat and need access to resources, The City of Austin, Travis County and community partners have activated cold weather shelters and warming centers for as long as conditions dictate. For more info call the 24/7 hotline: 512-305-4233. 

The AISD community is also encouraged to refer to local news and public safety organizations' social media for weather-specific updates.
