We have had an amazing first week of school. We’ve kept the main thing the main thing this week, and it’s evident. We are focused on increasing safety measures, improving instructional practices, and creating joyful and belonging experiences for Each & Every student! #LetsRide

Grade-level assemblies were amazing today as our school leaders discussed campus expectations that will lead to a successful year at Terry High School. Be sure to review updates to the LCISD Student Code of Conduct and Course Catalog.

Many have asked about a school supply list for the upcoming school year. Teachers will share this information during the first week of school, but the #1 item on every high schooler’s back-to-school list is a Composition Notebook.

Most core classes will utilize these for interactive notebooks. Rangers, they’re on sale for just $.50 each at the Rosenberg Office Depot. For just a few dollars, you can load up on these much-needed items in time for the first day of school.

To purchase online, visit Office Depot.

Dear Lamar CISD Community,

On September 1, 2023, House Bill 114 (HB 114), will go into effect, which is a law that aims to address the serious issue of vaping/e-cigarette use among students. Under this law, any student found in possession of any kind of vaping/e-cigarette device on campus premises will face immediate and automatic placement in a Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP).

Furthermore, the law states that a student shall be removed from class and placed in DAEP if the student engages in conduct involving a public school that contains the elements of the offense of false alarm or report under Section 42.06, Penal Code, or terroristic threat under Section 22.07, Penal Code.

The Alternative Learning Center (ALC) is the DAEP at Lamar CISD.

We take the health and well-being of our students seriously, and we recognize the importance of creating a safe and conducive learning environment. Vaping, despite being marketed as a safer alternative to traditional smoking, poses significant health risks. The rise of vaping incidents among adolescents necessitates decisive action to protect our students and promote responsible choices.

Additionally, we want to assure you that our school staff and administrators are committed to creating a supportive environment for our students. If any student is struggling with vaping addiction or peer pressure, we are here to help. Our counseling services are available to provide guidance, support, and resources to address such challenges.

It is crucial that we work together to educate our students about the dangers of vaping and to support them in making positive choices for their health and future.

We thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our campus directly.
