CISD Phone Issues-If you are calling the school and the call drops, please call back and know that we didn't purposely hang up on you. We are currently experiencing network issues and have representatives on the way to help resolve this problem. Thank you for your patience!

From the desk of CISD Food Services Manager regarding the end of year charge deadline: Dear Parent or Guardian, The school year is quickly coming to an end, and in an effort to reduce the amount of charges owed in May, students will not be allowed to charge after Friday, May 14th. Please ensure that your child has enough money in their cafeteria account to get them through the rest of the school year. You may easily check and pay balances on our website by going to https://www.lunchmoneynow.com/lmnchr/splash.php. You will need their student ID number which you can call the cafeteria and ask for at any time. Students that forget to bring their lunch money will be given a peanut butter sandwich and milk. If the teacher allows, students may call a parent for money. All charges that were made before applications for the Lunch program were approved must be paid. If you have any questions, please call the cafeteria manager. Amber Evans 936-362-2132, ext. 114
