Dear Parents and Guardians,
After closely monitoring attendance throughout the day and noting a significant increase in student and staff absences due to illness, Eastland ISD will be closed tomorrow. We originally planned to dismiss at 12:00 due to forecasted inclement weather; however, it has become apparent that declining attendance numbers necessitate a full closure.
We will use the day tomorrow to deep clean as many areas of our school buildings as possible in an effort to help protect the health and safety of our students, staff, and families and to limit the further spread of illness.
We will continue to monitor weather conditions over the weekend to make a timely, informed decision regarding classes on Monday.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Please take care, and we wish everyone a speedy recovery.
Sincerely,
Jeremy Williams
Superintendent
Eastland Independent School District

Dear Parents and Guardians,
Due to the possibility of inclement weather, Eastland ISD will have an early dismissal on Friday (1-23-26) as a precaution to ensure the safety of our students and staff. Although the weather is not expected to arrive until later in the evening, some forecasts indicate an earlier arrival of inclement weather; therefore, we are dismissing students early out of an abundance of caution.
School will dismiss at 12:00 p.m., and buses will run at 12:15 p.m. Please make arrangements for your child to be released at 12:00 p.m. Students will have the opportunity to eat lunch prior to dismissal and bus departure.
We will continue to monitor weather and road conditions and will communicate any decisions regarding Monday as early as possible to allow families to make necessary arrangements.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Sincerely,
Jeremy Williams
