Later tonight, AISD will provide an update to Walnut Creek families and the community about tomorrow's classes and school operations鈥攁fter the district completes its safety and security checklist and can guarantee the campus is prepared for students.

AISD will provide updates through the district鈥檚 website, social media channels and e-mail and telephone notifications systems and through local media.
