Subject: Important TELPAS Testing Information Attention Parents/Guardians: We would like to remind you that the Listening and Speaking portion of the TELPAS test will be administered on Tuesday, February 25th. It is crucial that students attend school tomorrow, Monday, February 24th, as we will have one final review session during second block to help them feel confident and prepared. To ensure a smooth testing experience, students must bring their laptops fully charged on the day of the test. This will help avoid any interruptions and allow them to focus on doing their best. This is a great opportunity for students to showcase their growth and language skills. Please encourage your child to get a good night’s rest, attend school on time, and come prepared. Attendance is important and will be taken. We appreciate your support in ensuring your child is present and ready for success. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.

Hello LISD Parents and Families, As the holiday season approaches, we want to remind you how crucial school attendance is to your child’s academic success. Understandably, this time of year can be busy, but we want to urge you to remember how missed school days around the holidays can impact your child’s progress from kindergarten through high school. We know that family time is precious and essential, but it’s important to remember that extended vacations can the send the wrong message about the importance of regular attendance. So, please ensure your child is present until the winter break begins and returns to school on the scheduled dates. We greatly appreciate your support in this matter. Happy Holidays!

Reminder: Tomorrow is a regular school day. Attendance matters! Please be on time—school starts at 8:30 AM. Let’s make it a great day! #SuccessStartsHere #AttendanceMatters

Good evening! Please be reminded that tomorrow is a regular school day. All students are expected to be in school by 8:30 AM. It's crucial that we finish the semester strong! See you tomorrow tigers!
