Birdville ISD’s Facilities Management team will continue to focus on high-touch surfaces and deep cleaning any areas of concern.
Respiratory etiquette will be encouraged (e.g., covering coughs and sneezes) to help prevent the spread of illness.
(Quarantine/Isolation)
As we begin the 2022-23 academic year, we are shifting away from managing community care and asking individuals to be responsible for their wellness.
Contact tracing is not required by the Texas Education Agency (TEA).
A student or staff member with a fever while at school will be isolated and sent home in accordance with the current communicable disease guidelines. A mask will be made available to the student or staff member who has a fever to decrease transmission of infectious particles while they are waiting to go home.
Isolation is used to separate people infected with COVID-19 from those who are not infected. Isolation is required for BISD students and staff who are presumed to have COVID-19 or who have tested positive.
If you have been in isolation due to COVID-19, you can be with others after:
* Loss of taste and smell may persist for weeks or months after recovery and need not delay the end of isolation.
Quarantine is for individuals who have been in close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19. Quarantine for close contact is not required under current health guidelines.
ATTENTION ALL VISITORS!
Before entering any BISD facility, you are expected to self-screen for COVID-19 symptoms. If you are exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms, meaning symptoms not normal for you, please do not request to enter the building. Instead, we ask that you call the office for assistance.

As we begin the 2022-23 academic year, we are shifting away from managing community care and asking individuals to be responsible for their wellness.
As was the case prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, all individuals who are ill should stay home until they are well.
Students and employees should perform a self-check for COVID-19-related symptoms prior to boarding a bus or entering a Birdville ISD facility. Please do not come to school if you are sick or exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms.
If your student has symptoms or tests positive for COVID-19, please complete this online form. The information collected will assist BISD to determine your child's return to school date. NOTE: Only submit this form if your student's positive case has NOT been previously reported to the campus/nurse.
Free COVID-19 Tests
Testing remains an important tool in our efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19. Tarrant County’s testing is free and easily accessible if you suspect you may have COVID-19.
Tarrant County Public Health has begun offering free COVID-19 testing at locations across the County to help identify cases and help patients receive early care to reduce the growing community spread threat.
The free COVID-19 testing sites will operate on a rotating schedule throughout Tarrant County.
If a Tarrant County resident feels they have been exposed to COVID-19 or feels sick, it is important to get tested.
