Greetings parents of Hitchcock High School Students,
We will be doing our Course Requests for next year on Google Classroom. Your student has received an "invite" from the High School Counseling Center. They need to accept the "invite." This is where they, and you, can view the 2020-2021 Course Guide. The Course Guide is also on the Hitchcock ISD website. Please make sure your child completes the assignment.
Hitchcock ISD has designated 8 meal pickup locations for any school age person to receive free meals. We will have a bus parked at the following locations for meal pickup, but will pass out 2 meals between noon and 1:00 starting Monday, April 6th. Next Friday, April 10th, there will be no meal delivery so Thursday, April 9th, we will pass out 4 meals at each location between noon and 1:00. There will no longer be 2 pickup times each day. Please help us spread the word about these changes.
Also we have had a few complaints regarding trash from the meals. Please throw away all trash from these meals in a trash can and not on the ground.
1) KFHS parking lot
2) Crosby Middle School – you will pick up from the cafeteria
3) Bent Oaks Apartments
4) The Life at Emerald Oaks
5) The Village Apartments
6) Galilee Missionary Baptist Church
7) Joe Moore Park
8) The corner of Heron & Highland Dr.
We are asking for you to minimize your large scale interaction in public locations in order to assist in our efforts at preventing any contact with infected people.
