Dear HSI Dallas Parents and Guardians,

Please ensure your child’s meal account maintains a positive balance to prevent any changes to their regular school lunch service. Per policy, students with a negative balance will receive an alternative meal consisting of a Sunbutter and jelly sandwich until the account is cleared.

You can review your balance and make payments online via SchoolCafe.com or in person at the school front office.

Additionally, if you have not completed the meal eligibility form, we highly encourage you to apply for free or reduced-price lunch. Qualifying families may also receive discounts on school clubs and activities. We will be serving Halal Friendly Meals.

For any questions, please contact Ms. Askari, Child Nutrition Aide, at maskari@harmonytx.org.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Sincerely,
HSI Dallas Administration

Dear HSI Dallas Parents and Guardians,

If your child is denied a regular meal, please know this is due to a negative lunch balance on their account. Students with a negative balance will be provided with an alternative lunch until the balance is cleared.

To avoid interruptions, please check your student’s meal account balance regularly through SchoolCafe.com and make payments as needed.

If you have any questions, you may contact Ms. Askari, Child Nutrition Aide, at maskari@harmonytx.org.

Additionally, if you have not yet completed an eligibility form for school lunch, we encourage you to apply for free or reduced-price lunch. Families who qualify may also receive discounts for clubs and other activities.

We encourage all families to complete the 2026–2027 Meal Application for their student(s).

Completing a meal application is important for more than just determining your child’s meal eligibility. The information collected may also help:

• Determine the amount of state funding your child’s school may qualify for, which can support books, classroom resources, and other educational needs.
• Determine whether high school students may qualify for discounts or fee reductions for dual credit courses, AP exams, college applications, and other programs.
• Support eligibility for certain community programs and additional student benefits.

Meal applications can be completed quickly and conveniently online at www.schoolcafe.com.

We encourage you to submit your application as soon as possible.

Attention students and families! The TSI Exam is scheduled for Saturday, September 19, at 9:00 AM. Students who are scheduled to take the exam should plan to arrive on time, well-rested, and prepared to do their best. The TSI is an important step in helping determine college readiness in areas such as reading, writing, and mathematics. We encourage students to take advantage of any available preparation materials and review opportunities before testing day. Parents, please help us ensure that students get a good night’s rest and arrive ready to test. Good luck to all of our Tigers taking the TSI—we know you can do it! 🐯📚💪
