Due to the power outage at the C9 campus, the district has made the decision to close C9 for the remainder of the day. Parents of car riders may pick up their students at the Cleveland High School campus. Car riders will remain at CHS until they are able to be picked up. Bus riders will be dropped off at their normal bus stops beginning at 11:00AM.
C9 Families - The power situation is being assessed at the C9 campus. If power is not restored by 8AM, C9 students will be transported to the CHS gym for holding. We will continue to update C9 families throughout the morning.
It is not just "an eclipse", this will be "THE ECLIPSE" for Texas. Cleveland ISD has decided to close for Monday, April 8th to allow students and staff time to be home with family & friends to experience this once in a lifetime learning opportunity event to make memories, take pictures, make videos together.
The next eclipse is not until 2044 and it will be nowhere near Texas.
