Friday Night Lights in Italy, watching our Gladiator Football Team, is an exciting and fun family-friendly event to show our Italy pride and support our students. Safety and security is of utmost importance not only in our schools but also at all our extracurricular events. Beginning this Friday evening at our homecoming football game and continuing at all future games, some additional safety protocols will be reinstated at our stadium. All spectators are being asked to remain behind the fence that separates the bleachers/concessions from the track and the field at all times. Spectators will not be allowed on the track or the field before, during or after the game. Staff working the game will be wearing lanyards with access tags in order to fulfill their responsibilities and provide support for students, spectators and guests. At all times, please make sure the only thing our players and fellow spectators hear from us is cheering on our students. Please refrain from heckling, yelling or using inappropriate language towards our coaches and staff or in front of families, students and small children. Let’s keep this a family-friendly event. At the conclusion of the football game, players will have a few minutes to meet their families at the fence, however, players will remain on the track and families will remain behind the fence. After that, Italy football players will be directed to the new fieldhouse area where they will be taken by bus back to the dressing rooms at the high school and can be picked up in the parking lot by the Ag Shop and the Dome. Band members will be dismissed as usual under the guidance of our band directors. We look forward to seeing everyone at the game! Have fun cheering on our students and spending time with your family and friends! Go Italy Gladiators! Rachel L.

Nothing related to masks was changed. Masks are optional for all students and staff. Information on the City of Italy COVID-19 testing site that opens on September 20, 2021 was also added to the guidelines. Click on Link to the New Covid-19 Protocols https://5il.co/yvta

Reminder: Italy ISD will hold a Professional Development Day this Friday, September 3rd. Students do not have school and school offices are closed. Extra-curricular events are being planned as usual, but keep an eye out for notifications or postings of any changes that may occur as a result of the current COVID situation. Monday is Labor Day and a school holiday for students and staff. School offices will also be closed in observance of the holiday.

COVID Dashboard Italy ISD will be posting and maintaining a COVID dashboard on the district website to keep our community, families and staff informed of positive COVID cases within the school district. It will be updated throughout the week. The district website can be found at https://www.italyisd.org/page/covid-19-case-dashboard

August 18, 2021 P-EBT Announcements The Pandemic-Electronic Benefits Transfer (P-EBT) helped millions of Texas children who temporarily lost access to free school meals during the 2020-2021 school year. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently added a one-time summer P-EBT summer benefit. Eligible families may be able to receive an additional $375 to supplement their family’s budget during the covered summer period Families that submit a household application before August 28 and meet one of the following criteria may receive the $375 Summer Pandemic-Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) through a direct distribution from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC). • Are newly eligible for P-EBT based on a change in family income after June 30, 2021 or are income eligible and did not have a household application on file during the 2020-2021 school year. • Have not yet applied for P-EBT and have children who were certified for free or reduced-price meals through the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and enrolled in an NSLP school in the last month of the 2020-2021 school year. Note: These families must submit applications through MyTexasBenefits. Schools should ensure parents can access the NSLP household application so families can obtain summer PEBT benefits. *Campuses that will be operating CEP for the first time in SY 21/22 MAY ONLY process TEA's Socio Economic Status (SES) Form to demonstrate eligibility for children.* Additional Information for Schools and Families The deadline to apply for P-EBT benefits through https://yourtexasbenefits.com/Learn/PEBT. (The link is case sensitive.) is September 13. Household eligibility for the 2020-21 school year P-EBT benefits cannot be changed at this time. We are working with the HHSC call center to field questions from families and to ensure that correct information is being shared. Household applications received after August 28, 2021, should be processed but cannot be used to determine eligibility for Summer P-EBT. More Reasons to Encourage Families to Complete their Household Applications before the August 28 Deadline Families that experienced a reduction in income over the covered summer period may be eligible for Summer P-EBT Benefits Completing a household application may benefit their family and your school. Use this flyer to encourage families to complete a household application now or in the future to ensure they have access to the many benefits it provides. A Message for Families: If your household experienced a reduction in income after June 30, 2021 or did not complete an household application in SY 2020-2021, now is the time to complete the household school meal application to determine eligibility for the Summer P-EBT benefit. Submit this form to your child nutrition department before August 28, 2021, to demonstrate eligibility for Summer P-EBT. Summer PEBT provides a $375 to supplement a family’s food budget during the covered summer period with a EBT benefit card. Eligible families are encouraged to demonstrate eligibility for a one-time summer Pandemic-Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) benefit by submitting the household school meal application before August 28, 2021. P-EBT for the 2020–2021 school year (August 2020 to June 2021) was for families with children who were certified for free or reduced-price meals through the National School Lunch Program and families with children born after Aug. 1, 2014, who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) food benefits. Eligibility for these benefits has already been established and cannot be updated at this time.

Italy ISD Health Services Students, teachers, and staff who have symptoms of infectious illness, such as influenza or COVID-19, should stay home and be referred to their healthcare provider for testing and care. Staying home when sick with COVID-19 is essential to keep COVID-19 infections out of schools and prevent spread to others. Confirmed Positive: School systems must exclude students from attending school or any school events in person who are actively sick with COVID-19 or who have received a positive test result for COVID-19. Parents must ensure they do not send a child to school on campus if the child has COVID-19 symptoms or is test-confirmed with COVID-19 until the conditions for re-entry are met. The readmission criteria for COVID-19 is as follows: If symptomatic, exclude until at least 10 days have passed since testing positive, are fever free without fever reducing medication for 24 hours, and other symptoms have improved. Children who test positive for COVID-19 but do not have any symptoms must stay home until at least 10 days after they day they were tested. Confirmed Exposure: School systems are not required to conduct contact tracing. Members within the household of a COVID positive individual will be considered close contacts. Anyone who has had close contact with someone with COVID-19 should stay home for 10 days after their last exposure to that person. However, anyone who has had close contact with someone with COVID-19 and who meets the following criteria does NOT need to stay home. • Someone who has been fully vaccinated and shows no symptoms of COVID-19. However, fully vaccinated people should get tested 3-5 days after their exposure, even if they don’t have symptoms and should wear a mask indoors for 14 days following exposure or until their test result is negative. OR • Someone who has had COVID-19 illness within the previous 3 months AND • Has recovered AND • Remains without COVID-19 symptoms (for example, cough, shortness of breath) Notifications: Italy ISD will only notify the student, student’s parents, and staff of specific lab confirmed COVID cases, and request that they self-monitor for 14 days. If any individual feels as if they, or their student, was a close contact of a lab confirmed positive COVID case, said individual is to report such information to campus administration and it will be investigated on a case by case basis by the Italy ISD COVID response team for further appropriate action. Italy ISD will communicate through a letter to the parents when a COVID positive case has been identified on their child’s campus. No specific student information will be included. Italy ISD will notify the proper authorities of a confirmed case in the school. Classwork during Quarantine: When quarantined at home, students are encouraged to monitor activities and assignments on their Google classroom accounts and complete work as much as they are able. Communication with teachers through Google classroom and email is encouraged as they complete assignments. This will help to minimize the long term effects on their academic progress up their return.
