• In accordance with CDC and the Denton County Health guidelines, the goal is to reduce the spread of the pandemic by taking the necessary preventive actions, therefore, Denton ISD is currently not accepting classroom/group observations and student observations/early field experience this Spring 2021 semester.  We will continue to reevaluate this decision at the end of the semester depending on the state of the pandemic.
