If you’re one of the more than 900 HISD employees who offices at the district’s headquarters, then mark your calendars now, as the next series of Lunch ‘N Learn sessions is returning to the Hattie Mae White Educational Support Center when the 4-10 summer schedule resumes.

The sessions will start with “estate planning, wills, and trusts” on Mon., June 10, and conclude with “getting healthy for life” on Tues., Aug. 13. The sessions will be led by representatives from HISD Benefits, the Employee Assistance Program, and associations for Alzheimer’s and diabetes.

REMINDER: Shortened district work-week starts June 10

Starting Mon., June 10, HISD will begin operating on a four-day work schedule as a cost-saving measure. All offices will be open for business from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Mon. through Thurs., and closed on Fridays. The district will revert to its regular schedule starting August 5.

For details, please see this related online memo. Questions should be directed to your work location supervisor.

Sign up now for mandatory CPR training June 22–Aug. 8

If you are a campus-based member of Team HISD who participates, sponsors, and/or coaches any UIL-sanctioned or co-curricular activities, then the State of Texas requires you to be certified in the administration of Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation, Automated External Defibrillator, and First Aid (CPR/AED/FA).

Stipend payments are dependent upon this certification, so if you need the training, please sign up now for one of the available sessions between Thurs., June 22, and Thurs., Aug. 8, to ensure that the district is in compliance with this legal requirement.

For details, including training dates, times, and locations, please see this related Academic Services Memo.
