GISD said information is available on their website and that social media will be the immediate way to update families and staff. Schedule changes will then be shared through a direct email to staff and families, as well as posted to social media.

The district said if there is a delay or cancellation of classes, families will be notified by phone, email, and text if their contact information is up to date in Skyward.

Pflugerville ISD

PfISD said they will decide after consulting with emergency management, law enforcement and other school districts, along with transportation and facilities staff members.

School-wide or district-wide changes will prompt the district to send out an email, text and phone call, along with social media and website announcements.

Officials say to check Skyward to make sure your information is up-to-date.
