****ATTENTION PARENTS UPDATED INFORMATION*****
Italy ISD will be closed tomorrow, Tuesday, January 16th due to extreme cold temperatures.
As we have monitored temperatures in our buildings today, and now that the sun has gone down, we are more concerned about being able to maintain a comfortable and safe temperature for students and staff to conduct school as well as get to school in our district buses and other vehicles. Because our buildings are older structures, they are not as adapted to this type of frigid temperatures, as we witnessed last December at Stafford.
Thank you for your patience, Stay safe out there!

Game Update!
Italy ISD:
Basketball Spectator Guidelines
We have jumped into basketball season, which carries with it the same excitement and passion that Gladiators show when supporting all our teams.
However, the Dome is a much different venue than our stadium. Voices carry, which is wonderful when what we hear is cheering. What is not good is when the voices that carry are cussing, jeering or personally criticizing the referees, coaches, or players.
Your price of admission to the game gives you just that, admission. It does not give you permission to be anything but respectful in your words and actions. Failure to exercise control can result in ejection from a game and further suspension from future games.
It is the Italy Gladiator expectation that we bring pride and good sportsmanship to every game and set the example for all students and other spectators that Italy Gladiators know how to properly support their teams.
Thank you for your support and accountability in making this happen. For more specific expectations, review the UIL Parent Information Manual at www.uiltexas.org/files/athletics/manuals/Parent_Info_Handbook_23.pdf

Good afternoon, high school students!
My name is Jade Weaver, and I serve as the Associate Director for the Hunt Leadership Scholars Program at Southern Methodist University (SMU). This program is under the purview of the Hegi Family Career Development Center, a branch of Student Affairs. The Hunt Scholars Program is an endowed scholarship that was established by the Hunt Family in 1993. The aim of the program is to recognize and award students who exhibit exceptional leadership capacity along with their strong academic performance. Attached is a flyer that shares more information about the scholarship. As seniors are considering their options for post-secondary education, please keep this opportunity in mind.
The application deadline is January 15th, but please encourage students to apply early. More information about the program can be found at smu.edu/hunt. If you have additional questions or would like to schedule a follow up call or meeting to discuss this scholarship in greater detail, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
