Queensland Education Minister Grace Grace has given the go-ahead for most flood-affected state schools to reopen tomorrow.
Ms Grace said inspections over the past two days showed the number of closed state schools was expected to drop from around 550 today to nearer 150 tomorrow.
She said crews had inspected schools to ensure they were safe to reopen and she expected travel would become easier from Wednesday.
"We expect the majority of staff and students to be able to safely travel to these sites, but please only head into school if it's safe for you to do so."
Schools remaining closed would provide remote learning where possible, she added.
"These schools are shut either because inspections show they aren't safe for students to attend, or because we haven't even been able to access them to carry out an inspection.
"Remote learning will be provided where possible, which will of course depend on staff and students having access to power and equipment. Schools will communicate directly with students and families about this."
Ms Grace said officials were working hard to reopen schools as soon as possible.
"But, as always, the safety of our students and staff is the top priority. Assessments are currently happening to see what will be needed to make the sites safe again.
"For example, some schools will need substantial cleaning and replacement of furniture, equipment and floor coverings, while others have more significant damage and are going to need major repairs."
There is a list of about 90 schools which will remain closed on Wednesday but it is constantly being updated.
Information on school closures can be found on the Education Department's website, which also guides people to updates on early childhood providers.
