The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club of Waxahachie, serving Ellis County, is in discussion with Italy ISD to apply to provide a low cost option for After School Care for Italy ISD beginning at the start of the 2023-2024 school year. Your responses to this survey will help us better understand student and family needs as we discuss the afterschool program. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CSQMPHD Thank you.

The Italy ISD internet and phone system is back up and working for both campuses. Thank you for your patience as repairs were being made.

The storms that came through Italy on Saturday night have caused IT server damage to both our campuses. How long it will take to rebuild the damaged IT server is not known at this time. Both campuses will be without phones and internet until the server is repaired. No timeline on completing that repair is known at this time. The district has an emergency cell phone number 214-903-2825 that can be used for calls into the district but we are asking you only call this number if it is absolutely necessary. We will only be able to take messages and deliver them as soon as we are able. We appreciate your patience as we work through this issue. Campus-specific procedures will be provided to staff by the principals on both campuses.
