Hello HICI Parents, Guardians, Staff and Volunteers,

As global concerns over the spread of COVID-19 continue to grow, the HICI Board of Directors is taking additional measures to help reduce the risk of spreading the virus. Effective 3/14/2020 the Elk Grove Txuj Ci Hmong School site will cease to hold classes for the rest of the school year. Additionally, the HICI Year End Fundraiser event which was to be held on 05/23/2020 is canceled.

Please look to email correspondence and our social media pages on facebook for future communication for any updates from HICI.

We look forward with great anticipation to the time when HICI Txuj Ci Hmong School can again operate at full capacity.

Sincerely,

HICI Board of Directors
