Canutillo ISD to start returning students to school classrooms on Sept. 14
CANUTILLO, Texas – The Canutillo Independent School District announced Tuesday that will return to in-person instruction beginning on Sept. 14 in a phased-in approach that officials said was "designed to safely reopen schools."
"Parents were asked to commit to either a remote or in-person method of instruction for a 9-week grading period. Parents have the option of changing their child’s instruction choice prior to the next grading period. Remote learning will remain an option for the remainder of the school year," explained CISD Superintendent Pedro Galaviz in a statement.
CISD’s reopening plan outlines a gradual transition back to the classroom by grade level. Below are the details for each grade level on the return to school campuses for the first time...

- Wednesday, September 16, pre-k through 4th grade
