Multiple Texas schools in Corpus Christi announced a ban on Valentine’s Day cards and candy Friday, citing stipulations in the schools’ plan to return to in-person instruction.
Grant Middle School and Mary Carroll High School announced they would not accept nor solicit deliveries of any kind on Valentine’s Day. Corpus Christi Independent School District established a new delivery policy before the start of the school year as a part of its plan to return to in-person learning.
“NO balloons, flowers, stuffed animals or candy for Valentine’s Day will be allowed,” Elliot Grant Middle School wrote on Facebook. “NO deliveries of any kind will be allowed. We are trying to limit unnecessary distractions that may hinder our Cudas from excelling!”
“This will be reevaluated at the end of the first six weeks,” according to the district’s Return to In-Person Instruction and Continuity of Services Plan.

“With Valentine’s Day around the corner, I would like to remind everyone that deliveries will not be accepted,” Mary Carroll High School wrote on its Facebook page Thursday. “Per CCISD’s Return to In-Person Instruction and Continuity of Services Plan, the only campus deliveries allowed will be for student personal items (i.e. medication administered at school, eye glasses, etc). Thank you for your understanding.”
