RIO GRANDE VALLEY, TX – Beginning Monday, August 16, 2021, all IDEA schools in Hidalgo County will comply with the universal indoor mask order issued on Friday, August 13.

Additionally, IDEA will continue its practice of contact-tracing when there are positive COVID-19 cases and will support students’ learning if they must quarantine at home.
