COVID-19 Protocols

  • Denton ISD is in constant communication with Denton County Health Services (DCHS) who monitor the health status and that of Denton County residents, daily. Based on the latest recommendations, please see the COVID-19 school decision tree.

    If COVID-19 or other infectious diseases become prevalent in our community, the district will partner with DCHS, operating under their guidance, and adjust our protocols. Find the latest public health guidance from the Texas Education Agency.
