Italy ISD Phones are back up,
Currently Italy ISD is experiencing a phone outage at both schools. Currently the system is down and we can't take any outside phone calls at this time. They are working on restoring the phones as soon as they can. We will keep you updated and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
I want to thank the entire Italy community for all the support and encouragement you showered on our 8th in the state Gladiator Marching Band! It was a first for our school and community and you showed up for them. There was an excellent turnout in San Antonio and all the photos and comments from back home showed how excited you were not only for the band, but also the school and our community!!
Let’s continue building up our kids and teaching them to celebrate successes while learning from disappointments. It takes a village to raise these kids and I’m so proud and privileged to be a part of it!!
We are all very proud of you band, directors, volunteers and everyone involved. It was a terrific day to be a Gladiator!

Please see the policy below and make plans accordingly. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause. Our top priority is the safety and security of our students, staff, and spectators.
Gladiator Field Bag Policy
Spectators are strongly discouraged from bringing bags of any kind into the stadium or away games.
If bags are necessary, they must be clear, and contents must be visible.
All bags, including clear bags, are subject to search at the discretion of district personnel.

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.
For all home football games, 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.
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!
