We will continue to closely monitor the situation and take guidance from the Metro Health Department, Texas Department of State Health Services, and the Center for Disease Control. As we continue through these unprecedented times, we ask everyone to be mindful of the key preventative measures of wearing face coverings, social distancing, washing hands thoroughly, and staying home when sick.

Teachers and staff members are working diligently to ensure that your child receives the best education even during our time apart. We believe that our students need us now more than ever and we are here to support their educational needs during this pandemic. Positive Solutions Charter High School will continue to provide the necessary tools from Chromebooks to Hotspots to ensure that every child has the opportunity to continue receiving the education necessary to meet his or her graduation goals.
