The Lago Vista Middle School Symphonic Band had a great performance and received a Division Three rating on the concert portion. In sight-reading, they earned a Division One rating! UIL concert & Sight-Reading is the state assessment for school band programs in Texas. It consists of two rounds that includes learning a new piece on the spot.

We took some time yesterday to celebrate our UIL Academic accomplishments and One Act Play. It was great to see so many students take extra time to take more tests! We were incredibly proud of them!

Absences - If your child is going to be leaving from school anytime during the school day because of a doctor/dentist visit, you are welcome to take a picture of the note and send it to our nurse/attendance clerk @ tharkins@lagovistaisd.net

Also, if you have a child at home sick, you may send an email to her to let her know so she can mark them on the day of their absence.

School Stickers - If you are wanting to show your school pride on your vehicle, we have three different designs of LV stickers. Just ask for Monica and bring $5 cash for each sticker you would like.

Our goal in Lago Vista ISD is to ensure that every student benefits as much as possible from the great teaching and learning that happen here every day. When your child misses school, they miss out on learning opportunities that simply can't be replicated. That's why this year, we are encouraging all parents to help our students "Strive for 5!" — aim for five or fewer missed days for your child this school year. Of course, if your child is sick, please keep them home. However, we ask that you try to plan vacations and other activities around our school calendar to minimize the loss of valuable instructional time.

In addition to missed learning opportunities, many parents also may not realize that our school's funding from the State is directly tied to daily attendance. Each day your child is present, the school receives about $37. While $37 might not seem significant on its own, it adds up quickly. Last year, the District's funding was reduced by over $700,000 due to student absences. This loss of funds impacts our ability to hire more teachers, reduce class sizes, and further enhance the learning environment for all students.

We appreciate your help in reducing avoidable absences so that your child — and all of our students — can take full advantage of the excellent instruction we offer every day.

Reminder - any student who is either using or in possesion of an e-cigarette(vape) of any type is an automatic DAEP(Disciplinary Alternative Education Placement) sentence.

HB 114 makes offenses involving the possession and/or or use of vapes a mandatory DAEP offense. School districts will now be required to place all students who are caught in possession and/or or using vapes (of any kind – not just those with drugs) into their DAEP.

Please share this with your children - it's just not worth it!
