Wondering how to spoil our staff? PTA has all their favorite things on our website.

Many of our Hicks staff created Amazon Wish Lists this year. Consider helping a staff member by purchasing an item(s) off their online wish lists!

FUN-RAISERS

LISD requires cleared background checks for all on-campus visitors. Register on Voly and submit your background check ASAP so you can sign up for volunteer opps, field trips, and general meetings. Be sure to become a fan of Hicks Elementary so our school opps appear in your feed first. (Note: It could take up to three weeks for your background check to clear.)
