The 2024-2025 school year marks the second year of our district-wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) initiative. PBIS is an evidence-based framework that supports students' behavioral, academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs. When implemented effectively, it enhances social-emotional competence, academic success, and overall school climate.

We are excited to continue this commitment across all areas, including at our first Indian home football game tomorrow, Friday, August 30. Expectations for home games this season include:

BE SAFE

• No Roughhousing
• Footballs, Frisbees, or recreational items will NOT be allowed in the stadium.
• No throwing of the rocks.

• HHS - Student section located on the north end of the home bleachers  (Closest to concession stand)
• HMS - Student section located on 5 row bleacher furthest north  (Across from restrooms)
• HPS/HIS - There is no defined section for these students. They need to be with their parents or guardian watching the game at all times.
• Students will not be allowed to be behind the home bleachers or on the guest side at any time.
• Any student that leaves the stadium will not be allowed to reenter the stadium.

BE RESPECTFUL

● Follow staff and teacher's directions

BE RESPONSIBLE

● Take care of school property and personal belongings

• Trash needs to be thrown away
• No jumping on the bleacher seats
• Use the bathroom for its intended purpose and properly clean up after use

We are excited to celebrate Homecoming 2024 on Friday, October 4! 

The Hallsville High School Indians football team will host School of the Osage at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, October 4th, for the 2024 Homecoming game. The homecoming parade will also be on Friday, October 4, at 1:30 p.m. All preschoolers through 12th grade not involved in the parade will be able to watch, and we invite the community to line the streets as well! HHS Student Council will release additional information soon!

Families are encouraged to monitor their student's lunch balance through Infinite Campus. Payments can be made directly in the Infinite Campus Parent Portal or by sending cash or a check to the school.

You can also set up recurring payments based on frequency or low balance in Infinite Campus. Please note that many saved payments from last year did not transfer over, so they must be set up again for the 2024-2025 school year.

Lunch balance notifications are sent on Thursday afternoons to students with a negative balance or a balance below $10.00.

Parents and students in secondary schools are encouraged to download the ParentSquare app. The app provides easy access to district, building, and classroom information. Within the app, you can also change your notification settings to best fit how and when you receive communication from the school.

You can receive notifications via email, Text, or app. You can also select off, instant, or digest within each notification.

Off: no notifications about posts will be sent to you. Emergency Alerts and Notices will still be sent. 

Instant: you'll receive an email and/or text and/or an app notification every time a notice or message is sent.

Digest: you'll receive an email and/or text and/or an app notification once a day in the evening with all posts from that day. This occurs at 6:00 p.m.
