We had a perfect attendance drawing this morning. We put the names of all students with perfect attendance and no tardies in a jar and then randomly drew two boys and two girls. The winners were Mia Jones, Elijah Bustamante, Parker Anderson, and Jayda Harrison.

Amelia Rodriguez – (Valdez) She is such a great helper. Every morning, she comes into the classroom and helps put the chairs down and pass out morning check in sticky notes. She always uses her best manners and is a good friend.

Sunnie Venegas – (Valdez) She is a great friend. She is ready to help out whenever needed. She follows all of the classroom rules and has a great attitude. She is our little ray of Sunshine.
Student of the Week:
Brooklyn Saxton in Ms. Martella’s 3rd grade class found money on the floor and turned it into her teacher.
Dallas Garcia and Brayden Zeigler in Ms. Williams’ 5th grade class found her debit card that she was so desperately searching for and turned it into her which made her day a little brighter.
Great job students for being good citizens.

Media Release for Seamless Summer Option Free Meals in School Year 2021-2022
Hitchcock ISD announced its policy today that this school year, healthy meals will be offered every school day
to all students at no cost. Typically, a student’s household must meet income eligibility requirements to qualify
for free or reduced-price meals. However, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) issued
guidance that allows schools to offer meals to all students at no cost for the 2021-2022 school year. Each
school/site or central office has a copy of the policy, which may be reviewed upon request.
While no application or eligibility determination process is required for your student to receive free meals this
school year, the income eligibility requirement will likely resume in the 2022-2023 school year.
