In accordance with the Texas Education Agency guidelines for return to school, we will offer parents/guardians the choice of on-campus instruction or a virtual learning option. Please contact Principal Cormack via e-mail (mcormack@strawnschool.net) by August 10th, 2020, if you desire to follow the virtual learning choice only.
With all of the uncertainty of COVID-19, we want to make sure that our students are kept safe to the best of our ability. For us it is difficult because of rumors or hearsay, and differing ideas on what is best. We will be continuing our workouts as safely as possible. We completely understand if you feel the need for your student to remain at home.
