The A-G Student of the Week is Lucas Carrizo Martinez,
nominated by Mrs. Longoria.
Lucas is a responsible and respectful young man who is always willing to help others. He is also very polite. - Louisa Longoria
The H-O Student of the Week is Arantxa Marcano Acevedo,
nominated by Mrs. Burton.
Aran stays after the bell and helps plug in all the iPads and calculators. She does this without being asked - she is truly just showing kindness and being helpful. When other students run out to get to lunch, she stays a few minutes behind to help me out and I truly appreciate her. - Rylee Burton
The P-Z Student of the Week is Roman Sims,
nominated by Mr. Henningson.
He is a very Respectful student. - Calvin Henningson
A Note from Mr. Semmler
1) Parents and Students,
Many students have noticed that Arena Scheduling has shown up in Skyward. This does not mean you are going to summer school. This opens for all students to allow a student to take a class for initial credit over the summer. Below are flyers from the High School that share more information about initial credit classes this summer.
All students and parents will be notified by the counselors if a student is attending summer school for not successfully completing a class.

PBIS Donations
PBIS Expectations & Rewards - PBIS stands for Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports. One large piece is explaining expectations upfront. Another piece is rewarding students when we see those focused on positive behaviors. 3 campus-wide expectations posters (CLICK HERE) are placed throughout the campus. Teachers will take time during the first day or two to explain these rules in detail and help students understand what they look like. Our campus is also implementing new software (Classcraft) to encourage students to earn rewards and use them in many different ways. Here is a short video on how Classcraft works: https://youtu.be/M2uqd9ZOMaw. Please have your child download the app on their device and log into Classlink on the LCISD webpage (at the top) to start to explore what this is all about. They do NOT need a phone to do this. It can be done on a laptop or computer.
Parents if you are interested in donating to the PBIS school store the following list is a great start. We accept all donations both monetary and items.
We are excited to announce that H-E-B is a proud sponsor of the PBIS Store at Leaman.
If your company would like to sponsor the store, please contact Mr. Kracker, Mr. Gilmore or Ms. Session for more information.
