Even with social distancing, there are ways your family can get outside and play to get fresh air and to de-stress. The LiiNK Project emphasizes outdoor, unstructured play daily for at least 15 minutes every hour for proper whole child development, boosting the immune system, and eliminating stress in schools. During this time of staying at home, Liink has put together some ideas that your family can implement. Check them out at www.smore.com/z4x01. While outside, remember to always remain 6 feet away from anyone who is not in your own household. #everymembersafe #EMSdistancelearning 2 hours ago · We have received confirmation from the Texas Education Agency that we will not have to use the designated Bad Weather Days of April 10 and May 22 as noted on the school calendar to make up days missed due to the COVID-19 building closures.

With the increase in internet traffic due to distance learning and people working from home, there are a large number of scams circulating to capitalize on the pandemic and issues surrounding it. Keep these things in mind:
- EMS ISD will never ask for your password(s) or personal information in an email.
- Personal Protection Equipment(PPE) is NOT being given away for free by responding to a social media post or email.
- Toilet paper and other items are not going to be given away free for responding to email, surveys or social media posts.
- Never provide your user ID and/or password(s) through email or social media.
- Make sure your applications on phones and computers are up-to-date. Most companies are actively trying to protect users from bad actors by updating applications more often as threats are being identified.
- If something looks strange it probably is. Contact the source using a trusted method to verify.
- Our Technology Department is here to help you if you encounter an issue during distance learning. The EMS ISD Help Desk will take calls from 8:00 am to 3:30 pm weekdays at 817-847-2990.
