Teamwork makes the dream work!
Viking Family,
I hope this letter finds you well. We just finished our third week and with each day that passes, I am given another reason to love this school! This week my gratitude is for our team. As we hosted class meetings this week, Ms. Kinslow opened each one by introducing our team of administrators and counselors. She ended her portion of the meeting with, โThis is your team. These are the people (along with your teachers) that want to help you be successful and make this your best year ever at LVHS. We all work for YOU!โ
Iโm so blessed to be part of this team, and I invite you to join TEAM LVHS. Your first opportunity is next Wednesday, September 4th, as we will host our Open House/Meet the Teacher from 6:00 - 8:00 pm. Please join us and meet the members of your studentโs team.
In our meetings, we also invited the Classes of 2025, 2026, 2027, and 2028 to participate in a school activity. Itโs how we build our community and make the high school experience special for all of our students. I encourage you to talk with your child about the importance of being an active participant in their learning journey. Whether itโs in the classroom, on the sports field, in a club, or any other group activity, every student has something unique to contribute. In essence, We All Row and we all grow!
Another way Vikings can get involved is by serving our amazing Lago Vista community. We are so excited to announce that as part of our Open House/Meet the Teacher night, we are partnering with the Hope Center. As our first LVHS community service project, we ask each family to bring a food item to support our local food pantry. Items most needed can be found in the list below, but any non-perishable food item will be helpful. Let's pack their shelves full of food!
Enjoy your Labor Day weekend, and I hope to see you next Wednesday evening!
AeTT,
Janda Castillo
Proud Principal Lago Vista High School

Lago Vista ISD Spectator Guidelines for Athletic Events
In a continuing effort to assure the safety and enjoyment of all athletes and spectators, the following procedures will be enforced during home athletic events:
Outside food and drinks are prohibited.
There is no re-entry after exiting the event.
All students 5th grade and younger must be accompanied by an adult guardian in order to attend home games. The students must remain under the supervision of that guardian while at the event.
Standing, loitering or horseplay under and around the stands, concession stands, or any other area is prohibited. There is absolutely no standing allowed by the rails and walkways in the stands. Repeat offenders will be required to leave the event and campus.
Revealing, provocative and/or inappropriate dress will not be allowed, nor will inappropriate behaviors or foul language. Repeat offenders will be required to leave the event and campus.
Once inside the event, middle school and high school students with a student ticket will be allowed to sit in the designated student area on the home side. Students are allowed to sit in the reserved or general admission sections only if they are under the supervision of an adult guardian.
Spectators wanting to sit in reserved seating must purchase a ticket for the reserved section.
The use of alcohol, controlled substances, tobacco, and electronic cigarettes are prohibited on school premises.
Only pre-approved individuals will be allowed access to the sidelines and track before and during football games.
Spectators may not enter the field area or cross to the visiting team side.
Everyone is expected to abide by the UILโs expectations of proper sportsmanship. Failure to do so may result in being removed from the event and campus.
Lago Vista ISD appreciates everyoneโs cooperation and support as we work to keep a safe and enjoyable environment at Viking athletic events.
4. OPPORTUNITY TO TRAVEL ABROAD ๐ซ
Kim Bentley, Middle School Assistant Principal, is leading a group of students to The Galรกpagos Islands in Summer 2026, and youโre invited!
Learn more about the trip they're planning with EF Tours, our educational travel partner. Please be sure to register for this info session to be considered for this opportunity: https://rsvp.eftours.com/vggrbnn
When students travel, they expand their knowledge of the world around them, discover more about themselves, and grow more confident. These skills are critical for creating the global citizens of tomorrow, and we would love to have your student join us on this adventure.
In this info session, weโll talk about:
- How this opportunity will benefit your student
- What weโll see and do on our trip
- Everything thatโs included in this experience
- How your child can earn academic credit
- How weโre keeping this safe and affordable
- How to enroll on this trip (before it fills up!) during EFโs risk-free enrollment period
There are limited spots on this trip, so we would love to have you attend this meeting to learn more about this exciting opportunity!
Thanks,
Kimberly Bentley- kbentley@lagovistaisd.net
