Crosbyton CISD will begin food service for all children ages 1 – 18 on Monday, March 23. A free Breakfast and lunch will be served at the same time from 10:00 – 12:00 Monday – Friday for the duration of the school closure. We will serve these meals on the south side of the cafeteria by bringing the meals to your car when you approach the cafeteria door. The children receiving the meals must be in the car with you. This is a requirement of the Texas Department of Agriculture. Students who walk to the cafeteria to receive a meal will be served outside of the same door; however, they will not be able to enter the cafeteria or other school facilities to eat the meal. If you plan on taking advantage of these free meals, please email coronavirus@crosbyton.k12.tx.us before Monday morning with the number of children in your home that plan on participating. This is not a requirement, but it will help our cafeteria staff prepare the appropriate amount of food.
UIL games and contests will resume no earlier than Monday, May 4th. Prior to that date, to allow students and schools to reenter competition, UIL will provide a reasonable acclimatization period for rehearsals and practices to occur, consistent with the advice of local, state and federal officials. We will reevaluate the beginning dates for practices and rehearsals as we receive more information about schools resuming.
Crosby County Parents,
As our county school districts navigate the unprecedented circumstances involving COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and the need for social distancing, we remain committed to the safety and health of our school communities.
Superintendents Mason, Morrison, and Wade in accordance with an order issued by Governor Abbott have closed each county school district through April 3. Arrangements are being made to continue to provide breakfast and lunch to all our students. Meal service times, and directions for food pickup will be released later this week.
The teaching staff of each district will be working early next week to prepare remote learning lessons for all our students. These lessons will be provided electronically, or through paper packets. A teacher or staff member will be contacting you next week to determine which option best serves your student’s educational needs during this time of closure.
Thank you for your understanding and flexibility during this time of great unknown. As a Crosby County family, we will work together for the best interests of our school communities.

Statement Regarding COVID – 19
The top priority of Crosbyton ISD, Lorenzo ISD, and Ralls ISD is providing a safe environment for our students, staff and families. We understand there are health concerns over the recent outbreak of respiratory illness caused by the new coronavirus called COVID-19.
The Crosby County school districts are closely monitoring the situation and tracking information provided by local, state and national healthcare providers. Administrators are also in daily contact with community partners, state and national healthcare agencies, as well as, Texas Education Agency. Currently, there is NO indication of an immediate threat to Crosby County communities.
No classes have been canceled in our school districts and classes will resume on March 23rd after Spring Break unless otherwise mandated by the Texas Education Agency, Centers for Disease Control Prevention (CDC), or the Texas Commissioner of Education. These decisions are based on emphasizing facts over fear, and relying on credible sources for information.
During spring break, all three districts will heighten the level of cleaning at all campuses in preparation for the return of students and staff on March 23rd. We encourage families planning on traveling during the break to visit the CDC website for important information on traveling domestically and internationally.
Thank you for the support of our three districts. We are committed to maintaining the safety and health of our students, staff and their families.
Have a safe, restful and healthy Spring Break.
Crosbyton CISD will be on Spring Break from Monday, March 16th to Friday, March 20th. Enjoy your week with your family and friends.
