Re: Weekly COVID-19 Update
Good afternoon everyone!
Campuses will re-open for parents to enjoy lunch with their student on each Friday of the week starting Friday, October 15th. Thank all of you AGAIN for being so understanding during a challenging time.
Through Thursday, October 7th, the following active cases of COVID-19 were documented at Mineola ISD:

*Our total student enrollment as of Thursday, October 7th, 2021 is 1633 students. Our positivity rate is 0.001 for the virus.
*We highly encourage parents to sign the permission forms so that we can test your child if they are experiencing symptoms for COVID-19 or have had a close contact encounter with someone who is positive. We have conducted over 500 tests in the District since the 2021-2022 school year began. The Abbott Laboratory Binax tests are 98% accurate and completely FREE to your child. Please call to schedule an appointment for testing if your child needs it!
*Data shows that in our local hospitals, a very high percentage of those currently hospitalized or in ICU are unvaccinated.
*The next Vaccine Clinic will be hosted in the Mineola Primary/Middle School Cafeteria on Wednesday, October 20th from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. for those interested in receiving a Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine.
A very effective treatment in fighting COVID-19 have been infusion clinics that have been established throughout East Texas. Here is contact information for one such clinic if you or one of your family members are in need. Free Monoclonal Antibodies Clinic UT Health North Campus 11937 US 271 903-877-7119 Appointment times are 7:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. seven days a week.

Equal to or over the age of 65
Body Mass Index over 25
Diabetes
High blood pressure
Pregnant
*Please continue to wash your hands, social distance, and wear a mask. Face coverings are encouraged, but not mandated at Mineola ISD for students that are aged appropriate (3rd Grade-12th) .
Parents and guardians, we continue to see the number of tests and case counts decline, as attendance percentages continue to climb in the District. This is really great news! Thank you again for all of your support throughout the last 18 months. We really appreciate how supportive our parents and community have been as we have responded to these challenges as a District. If we can do anything to help you, please don't hesitate to contact your child's Campus Office or one of our many Departments that support our District's mission.
Have a great Fall Break!
My best always,
Cody Mize
Superintendent of Schools
