Italy Independent School District

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.

Need to Knows About Schedule Pick-Up What is NEW? Athletic Director - Lee Wilkins Additional Student Support Counselor - Amber Simpson New Law Regarding Required Intervention Any student who was not successful on a STAAR or EOC test is required to have intervention. This means that there may be an Academic Support class on the schedule and that can’t be changed. This does not mean that any student is less than another student or that we are just concerned about the performance on the STAAR test. We will use this classroom opportunity to close gaps that may have resulted from COVID, help students recover credit that may have been lost in a previous course, assist students focusing on the ACT, SAT, or TSI, or give students extra tutoring opportunities in preparation for a future STAAR or EOC. What do you do FIRST? Complete the online registration process - this MUST be completed before any schedule will be given to a student Make certain that your student is up to date on immunization requirements. All incoming 7th grade students have required vaccinations. Anyone new to the district must provide a complete vaccination record.
