Return to School Plans
Creating a Safe Learning Environment
We look forward to seeing our students at school this year after being apart for almost six months. The Board of Education approved the district’s Return to School plans last night at the meeting. Our plan for returning to in-seat school is built around the following foundational priorities:
Our Commitments
- Providing environments that are as safe as possible for our students and staff
- Ensuring access and equity for all students
- Communicating with staff, families, and community partners
Part of providing an environment that is safe for our students and staff is relying on our employees and families to complete a daily self-check of COVID-19 symptoms prior to arriving at school. If you have been in close contact with a confirmed case within the last 14 days, you should stay home. If you have experienced one of the following symptoms, that otherwise can not be explained within the last 14 days, you are recommended to stay home:
● Fever or chills
● Cough
● Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
● Fatigue
● Muscle or body aches
● Headache
● New loss of taste or smell
● Sore throat
● Congestion or runny nose
● Nausea or vomiting
● Diarrhea
Students and employees should not come to school under any circumstances if they are sick. Building level principals should be notified if a student is going to be absent if absence is potentially related to COVID-19.

Paint the Town Purple and Gold
Tuesday, September 1
Please join us for our second annual Paint the Town Purple and Gold to help welcome students back to school for the 2020-2021 school year on Tuesday, September 1. We have missed our students over the past few months, and can not wait to welcome them back on campus for the first day of school!
Community members, neighborhoods, families, and students - help us to line the streets and roads leading to the school with motivational signs for the upcoming school year supporting all students. Many students already know that their parents and teachers support and value the importance of education, but let's join together in showing them that the community supports their educational experience as well.
Some example sign slogans are as follows:
Good Luck Indians
You’ve Got This
Chase Your Dreams
Always Try Your Best
Hallsville Loves You
Welcome Back Hallsville Students
Note: Please place signs out the evening of Monday, August 31 so they will be viewable by those students riding early morning buses to school. When placing your sign, keep in mind the traffic’s view of the roads and sidewalks. Please remove signs by Saturday, September 5.
