COVID School Closure Food Service Needs & Technology Survey

Parent Feedback Requested
In light of the school closure, CISD personnel are working diligently to support families with both food service needs and instructional supports during the school closure.  In addition to seeking feedback on food needs, we are asking all parents to give us feedback on the technology that they have in their home for future instruction.

More information on instruction will be shared in following posts.

CISD is closed from March 23 - 27.  The decision on subsequent closures will be made on Thursday of each week.


Food Service Information
Beginning Monday, March 23, 2020, Carthage ISD will be offering Grab and Go meals at no cost to any student or community child 18 and under and to students with disabilities without regard to age through two different programs.
Breakfast/Lunch “grab and go” meals will be available from 9am – 11 am at the following locations
  • Libby Elementary Cafeteria (drive through bus ramp)
Additionally, we will deliver meals using school buses from 9 a.m. - 11 a.m. We will be operating all normal routes throughout the district.  Students may wait at the regular bus stop, and the bus will deliver both breakfast and lunch at the same time.

PLEASE COMPLETE THE SURVEY
to help us determine how much food to provide and
to help us determine the technology supports at your home.




#BeTheLIGHT
In this time of uncertainty, it is human to be anxious.  We WILL get through this.  Let's remember to be patient and kind with one another.  If you have questions about your child's learning, please wait until next week (after March 23) to ask questions.  We will send information about learning to you next week.

If you have questions about food service needs, please email your child's principal or call the school.

Special Note - Campuses will not be taking phone calls until Monday, March 23.

    1. Yes, it would be best to complete a survey for each child so we can get a better count with student names. Thank you so much for your question.

  6. We have a computer. Live out in the country. Not to good wifi. It serves for searching and email but videos kind of poor and no ability to get unlimited plans on data.
