Italy High School

Italy ISD School Closure Friday, January 14, 2022 Due to rapidly increasing COVID cases and staffing shortages (both current and projected), we are changing this coming Friday, January 14 to an in-person staff workday. The day will be a student holiday. We have additional minutes built into the school calendar and this time will not have to be made up for students. Currently scheduled extra-curricular activities (UIL games, etc.) will continue as scheduled unless you are contacted by your coach or sponsor. All staff should report to their campus from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. All staff should be working in their classrooms or offices alone and refrain from any group gatherings including meals together. All staff must be in-person or have an absence documented for the day. While the COVID Omicron variant is quickly spreading and we expect mass population coverage soon, we will continue to monitor active cases each week to mitigate the spread. We apologize to our families for the inconvenience but feel this decision is in the best interest of Italy ISD students and staff. We are feeling the impact of staff absences throughout the district. This will allow for an extra day apart along with the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday on Monday, Jan. 17. Please contact your campus if you have any questions. Rachel Kistner Italy ISD Superintendent

Dear Parents / Guardians, Your child has the opportunity to participate in an educational program outside of the classroom. Global awareness is more essential than ever for our children, and the best way to become globally aware is by traveling abroad. Experiencing new cultures not only opens students’ eyes to the world, it also prepares them for the future. More and more colleges and universities are looking for international experience on students’ applications to set them apart. Travel isn’t just educational; it’s an investment that gives your child an advantage in a competitive world. With that in mind, we’re excited to announce that we are leading an international educational tour to the Dominican Republic in 2023! There is limited space so I do hope you and your child will be able to join us at the upcoming information night to learn more about this adventure of a lifetime. Your child can even earn high school or college credit by attending this educational tour. We will be hosting an informational meeting on Nov 11, 2021 to answer any questions, including how we’re keeping the tour affordable and our risk free enrollment. We hope you will at least come and learn more! You must RSVP to be eligible for the scholarships. Please use the following link to RSVP or to request information: https://bit.ly/3b4f5vi Warm regards, Ms. Perales

SENIORS 2022 - It's time to celebrate YOUR future! We want to share your future plans with our community. Please let the counselor know when you get your letter in the mail, accept your dream job, make your decision on your future or receive a scholarship. Please email the following: 1. Take a photo of yourself (yes, show off your letter or banner) 2. What's your BIG NEWS ~ college acceptance, upcoming career after high school, scholarship, branch of service... 3. Email the information (letter of acceptance, announcement) to the counselor at mdeborde@italyisd.org Meredith DeBorde, MS, LSC Italy Junior High/High School Counselor
