Important Announcement Regarding FREE Meals

Due to a waiver extension by the USDA, Houston Public Schools finally
received notification that we are able to offer meals (breakfast and lunch)
FREE of charge to ALL our students, whether or not they qualify for free-
or reduced-priced meals. This waiver only goes through December 31,
2020 or until the funding is exhausted, whichever comes first, but is
retroactive to the first day of school. The waiver does not apply to the
snack milk program at Houston Elementary and Preschools.

It is still extremely important that families complete the Application for
Educational Benefits now or before the October 1, 2020 deadline. Our
school benefits from the funding we receive, and since we will not be given
advanced notification when the waiver ends, it is vital that families have the
application submitted so the students do not have a gap in their free meals
when the funding is gone and the waiver ends.

Plan for Opening School in the Fall

On Thursday, August 6, the Houston School Board approved the recommendation of the HPS
planning group and selected Learning Model Parameter 3 as the plan to restart school since it
keeps students and staff safe while affording students, staff and parents the most consistency
and normalcy.

In Learning Parameter 3, the schools will all be in Scenario 2. In Scenario 2, all students will be
coming to school on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, according to the school calendar.

On Wednesdays, the elementary and preschool students will have a half-day of school onsite in the
morning and will go home for the afternoons so the teachers have time to virtually work with those
students who have selected to be in distance learning all the time or who need extra assistance.
We will have Hurricane Watch available for the elementary students.

On Wednesdays, high school students from Houston High School and Summit Learning Center
will engage in distance learning in the morning and will have the afternoon to virtually get extra
assistance from their teachers or complete the assignments that were given in the morning classes.
Attendance will be taken during each of the morning classes, so it is required that students log on
for each class.  On the first Wednesday, September 9, the high school students will attend
classes in person in the morning to learn the logistics of the subsequent distance learning
Wednesdays.
