Nurse Notes
Dear Families,
I hope this message finds you well! I wanted to reach out regarding some gastrointestinal germs circulating in our community and emphasize the importance of handwashing both at home and at school.
Here are a few tips to help reinforce this practice:
Encourage Frequent Handwashing: Remind your children to wash their hands regularly throughout the day, especially after playtime, before meals, and when they return home from school.
Model Good Habits: Show your kids proper handwashing techniques, particularly before eating and after using the restroom. Your example is crucial in helping them develop good habits!
Make it Fun: Incorporate fun lessons about germs and hygiene into your family activities.
To support you, here are some engaging, kid-friendly handwashing videos you can watch together:
- Song: The Hand Washing Song - A fun tune to make handwashing enjoyable!
- Step by Step: 10 Steps to Washing Your Hands - A quick guide to effective handwashing.
Thank you for your commitment to keeping our families healthy, both at home and at school!
Warm regards,
Kinley Speir, RN

Bus Information
If your child will be riding the bus, please download the app. Here Comes the Bus is a bus tracking software tool that allows you to see where the bus is in real time. Our district code is: 29501
Breakfast and Lunch
Talk to your child to see if they will buy breakfast or purchase a snack each day. Many students eat at home and then eat in the cafeteria. Snack or breakfast charges accrue and parents are unsure why there is an amount owed. The student meal purchase history access will be helpful to avoid extra charges.
Student Meal Purchase History: Families can now access the meal purchase history of their student online via Skyward Family Access. To see this information, families will log into Skyward Family Access and click on "District Links" in the upper right. For more information click HERE.
Menus: Due to supply chain issues, menus are subject to change, and may differ from the calendars below. Please visit lisd.nutrislice.com for interactive menus, nutritional information, and more.
Food Deliveries (such as Uber Eats, Grubhub, etc. are not allowed)

Absences
Lunch Visitors
If your child forgets their lunch at home, you can bring it to the front office. We can only accept food items from the child's parents/guardians. We will not be able to accept third party food delivery for students. Click on the link below in order to sign up as a lunch visitor. All visitors that do not have identification will not be allowed into the building. https://forms.gle/6Mt9GkxrvM2jqKV36
Volunteer
Volunteers are an integral part of what we do every day in LISD.
LISD uses VOLY, a volunteer management system, to post volunteer opportunities and find volunteers. To volunteer, you will need to create a VOLY account by visiting lewisvilleisd.voly.org. (Please note: do not use Internet Explorer as your browser when using VOLY.) VOLY will send you customized e-mails with opportunities that may interest you for volunteering.
Cell Phone Policy
In order to focus our learning and instruction time with students, all elementary and middle school students will be required to put personal devices/cell phones away in the child’s backpack or designated location from the time they enter the building in the morning until the dismissal bell.
You can reach your students through their school email address, or by calling the front office.
If your student needs to reach you, they can send an email or call you from a classroom or office phone.
