A Message From Heather Patterson, GRHS Principal
Happy Sunday GRHS Longhorns,
I will still be sending out the weekly Sunday newsletter, but it will mainly be to help keep you informed when you need assistance or have questions during the summer hours.
Please remember that we only run a "skeleton crew" in the summer, but you are more than welcome to send emails, with the expectation that it will be answered upon the return of that staff member when they are one contract hours. If you need immediate assistance, you can always call 832-223-4200 and we will do our best to make it happen!
- Our June/July summer office hours are Monday-Thursday from 8:00am-5:00pm.
- We will be closed 12:00-12:30 daily for lunch.
- We are closed every Friday until July 23rd.
- If you need immediate assistance we are happy to help in anyway we can, please call 832-223-4200 (Mon-Thurs from 8am-5pm)
- You may also email Veronica Moreno, my Admin Assistant, at vmoreno@lcisd.org, to ensure I don't miss your email, as I have trainings and a little vacay planned with my own family this summer.

Summer Curbside Meals @ GRHS!
USDA has extended waivers that allow Lamar CISD to offer meals at no charge to students through the end of Summer.
FREE curbside meals are available to all Lamar CISD students and children 18 and under who are not enrolled in Lamar CISD. Families will have the option to order a multi-day meal kit consisting of 5 breakfasts and 5 lunches. Families are required to fill-out an online form every Wednesday by 8 p.m. prior to meal pickup. This form can be found on the Lamar CISD Child Nutrition Department Page. Meals will not be provided if the form is not submitted. Parents must provide documentation if a car placard has not been previously received. For students enrolled in Lamar CISD, the following forms of ID are acceptable, student ID issued by the district, a schedule, or any correspondence from the school with the student ID number on it. If the child is not enrolled in Lamar CISD and is not present during meal pick up, parent(s) must present a birth certificate for each child he/she is picking up for.
If you need additional guidance or would like to add your email to the weekly order form, please contact the Child Nutrition Office at 832-223-0180.

HS SUMMER SCHOOL INFO (@ FOSTER HS This Year)
CANCELLED - LCISD DIGITAL SCHOLARS PROGRAM
The Texas Legislature did not pass legislation related to virtual learning during its recent session, which ended on Monday, May 31. As a result, school districts will NOT receive funding to provide virtual instruction for students next year.
Additionally, we only received 110 applications to participate in the Digital Scholars Program, which is well below the number necessary for a feasible program.
Taking the lack of funding, student interest and planning time into consideration, we will not be offering the Digital Scholars Program for the 2021-2022 school year.
Rather, the District will continue to meet our students’ needs and provide them with engaging educational opportunities on campus.
As previously mentioned, the Digital Scholars Program was never intended to be a COVID-19 response and the District will continue to serve our immunocompromised students on a case-by-case basis through homebound services or the Texas Virtual School Network (TXVSN) Online Schools program.
Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to welcoming all of our students back to campus next school year.
