The schools now are set to be closed through Wednesday, officials said.
A swine flu outbreak is so severe that officials have decided to close all Tyler County schools Monday, Nov. 9 and Tuesday, Nov. 10.
Due to Veteran's day, school will not be in session on Wednesday, Nov. 11 either.
A letter was sent home notifying parents on Friday. That means parents had the weekend to figure out what to do with their kids.
"I think it's good for the purpose of why they are doing it. Swine flu is bad in Tyler County and this gives a chance for the school to clean out and have kids at home," said mother, Angie Weekley.
Large gatherings are being discouraged for five days for children who are sick or well.
