The Lion's Roar

October 25, 2024

A Note From Mrs. Bowden...

It is my all-time favorite event CARNIVAL! It certainly won't feel like fall, but it does bring back childhood memories of school carnivals. I hope to see your family at carnival!

The 2nd 9 weeks is always a very busy time for school. Basketball season, chess competitions, preparing for productions and 5th grade camp. We also are approaching the holiday season. Before you know it, the first semester of school will be complete.

Just a few reminders:

Attendance matters. Please refer to the Parent - Student Handbook for school policy.
Dress Code. It is enforced and students will receive consequences for not adhering to dress code.
Student ID. Is part of dress code and part of safety and security.
Tardiness. This results in missing class time and instruction. Students need to arrive to school and class on time.

It is a great day to be a LION.

University of Texas at Austin - Top 5% Auto Admission Class of '26

LPS Juniors and Families -

As you may know, students who graduate in the top 10% of their class could qualify for automatic admission to many public universities in Texas through the Top 10% Rule. Senate Bill 175, passed by the 81st Texas Legislature, allows The University of Texas at Austin to limit automatic admission to 75 percent of the university’s enrollment capacity designated for first-time resident undergraduate students.

The University has determined that it will automatically admit all eligible summer/fall 2026 and spring 2027 freshman applicants who rank within the top 5% of their high school graduating classes. A letter from University President Jay C. Hartzell is attached to this correspondence.

Please let me know what questions you may have!
