G/T Referrals – October 12-26, 2021

Referrals for the Central Heights ISD Gifted & Talented program will be accepted October 12-26, 2021. If you are interested in learning about giftedness and CHISD’s G/T services, a meeting will be held Tuesday, October 12 at 6:00 pm in the High School Library. Anyone wishing to refer a student for attending Central Heights ISD is encouraged to attend, as referral packets will be distributed.

If you are unable to attend the meeting, you can request a referral packet by contacting Tonya Turnage after October 12. This form must be returned to Mrs. Turnage by October 26 in order to meet the deadline for testing. Central Heights ISD is committed to providing challenging learning experiences for students with exceptional intellectual and creative thinking abilities.

Seamless Summer Option - Free Meals in School Year 2021-2022

CHISD would like to announce for the 2021 – 2022 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 this year that allows schools to offer meals to all students at no cost for the 2021 – 2022 school year. Please note that while this free breakfast and lunch program is available to us for 2021 – 2022, the income eligibility requirement will likely resume in the 2022 – 2023 school year. During the first week of school, each student will receive a packet of paperwork that needs to be completed. While no application or eligibility determination process will be required for your student to receive free meals this school year, we are asking ALL families to complete the included ‘Socioeconomic Information Form’. This form will not be used against you in any way, as it is not used for any sort of individual qualification purposes. It is confidential and will only be used in summary for TEA to examine our CHISD school population as a whole. Our student population determines the amount of funding available to our school district and factors into our accountability ratings, so we need these forms completed to make sure our school continues to benefit from these special programs. Below is a letter explaining the ‘Seamless Summer Option’ in English & Spanish.  There is a also a copy of the ‘Socioeconomic Information Form’ so that you can see what to look for.

ESSER III Use of Funds Input Survey

The American Rescue Plan Act was signed into law, dedicating funds for K-12 schools through Elementary and Secondary School Education Relief (ESSER) III funds. As a result, CHISD will be applying for the one-time, ARP (American Rescue Plan) ESSER III funding. The purpose of this funding is to help safely reopen and sustain the safe operation of schools and address the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on students. In order to determine the best uses of these funds, we are consulting with our stakeholders (students, families, administration, teachers, staff, community members and additional stakeholders with specific interests of traditionally underserved student populations). Please complete the survey below and help us in our planning process.

We truly appreciate your time and assistance! Have a great Blue Devil day!  Click HERE to access the survey.
