The Texas Education Agency (TEA) released a new Family Portal on the Texas Assessment website in January 2023. The Family Portal https://www.texasassessment.gov/ makes it easy for parents and guardians to access their child’s State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®) results. It also shows each test question and how the student responded, as well as personalized resources to support learning at home. When you go the the district website and log-in to the Parent Portal, the Texas Assessments Link is on the lower left side of the student summary page, which is the same location that you have accessed before during registration and also to review report cards and progress reports.

Italy ISD Staff are excited to see our students on Thursday ! We are ready to serve this wonderful school district and community!

To all Italy ISD Headstart and PreK families, As we continue to work through plans and respond to situations arising from our Christmas flooding at Stafford, we have discovered additional classrooms that will be impacted by the repairs.  The Headstart and Prekindergarten classrooms will need to temporarily relocate. Central Baptist Church has graciously agreed to allow those classes to utilize their Family Life Center for the short period of time we anticipate needing to be out of our Stafford classrooms beginning January 5th. STUDENTS WILL CONTINUE TO BE DROPPED OFF IN THE MORNING AND PICKED UP IN THE AFTERNOON FROM STAFFORD.  Students will eat breakfast at Stafford. After breakfast, a bus will take them to Central Baptist Church.  Lunch will be delivered to them at Central Baptist by our Food Service department.  At the end of the day, students will be brought back to Stafford for regular dismissal procedures.  If you need to pick up your student during the school day, you MUST come to Stafford first to officially check them out of the office.  You will be provided a checkout pass to take to Central Baptist and present to the teacher.   STUDENTS WILL NOT BE RELEASED FROM CENTRAL BAPTIST WITHOUT A CHECKOUT PASS THAT WAS GIVEN FROM THE STAFFORD OFFICE!     Thank you so much for your patience, understanding and cooperation during this time.  It's just another example of our strong and supportive Italy ISD Family!!!

Attention Fire alarms at the high school were activated at approx. 11 AM. Current smoke tests of the sewer lines being conducted by the city caused the sensors to go off. Everyone is accounted for and safe.
