This week, we are thrilled to celebrate an incredible achievement—our teachers earned over $18,000 in LEAF grants! These funds will support learning across multiple areas, including Kindergarten, 2nd Grade, Music, Computer Lab, the Dyslexia Program, and our Library. We can’t wait to see how these resources help us continue to Think Big and Build Brighter Futures for our Koalas!

Looking ahead to next week, we have some exciting events planned. See the detailed schedules below.

Please remember when your student is absent to submit a note via their folder or you may email it to our new clerk - Jimmy.Jones@lcisd.org

We are so thankful to have him serving our campus and creating a welcoming environment for our families and staff! Thank you for your continued support in making our campus a place where big ideas and bright futures thrive!

Warmly,

Do you know someone who has a cool job that the kids would love to hear about?

Do you know a sports or music industry person?

Does someone you know get gratis from work that our koalas would love?

We would love to have a diversity of industry, military, technology, etc. that can not only excite our koalas, but also help them make the real-world connection to the importance of their education. Attached, please find an interest letter and below a link to complete if you or your business are able to participate. I thank you in advance for inspiring our Koalas.

Our district will post new recommended library materials for a 30-day review period, giving parents, students, staff, and community members the opportunity to preview and comment on titles before they are purchased. Comments must be submitted through the district’s online form, located on the top left of the Library Books Order page. All feedback received during the 30-day window will be reviewed and considered prior to finalizing any orders. Please note that materials designated for elementary may also be available to middle school students; materials marked for elementary and middle school may be available to junior high; and materials listed for elementary, middle, and junior high may be available to high school students. Each title may be purchased in multiple formats, including paperback, hardcover, audiobook, and large print. Click here for more information and titles. 

'Healthy Bites Healthy Moves’ is a free 8-week curriculum series, designed to help adults make healthy lifestyle choices. Each of the 8 sessions are about an hour and a half long and are designed to teach key skills to promote their family's health and wellness. The curriculum covers the concepts of diet quality, physical activity, food safety, food security and food preparation. Families will benefit from their classes as they will be able to plan healthy family meals by staying within a budget and saving more. Participants who attend a minimum of 6 sessions graduate with a certificate and those who attend all 8 sessions get a certificate as well as a cookbook. 

After purchasing a sign posting, please email Monica.cruz@lcisd.org with the date you would like it posted and the name of your student.

Transportation changes will not be accepted after 2:10 pm or 10:45 on early release dates. To submit a transportation change, please call the office at (832) 223-6500 or write a note for your child to bring with them, reflecting the transportation changes. Neither email nor voicemail is an approved method of communication for transportation changes.

You may check out your child early if needed for doctor's appointments or other necessary reasons until 2:30 PM on full days or 10:05 on early release dates. Please limit this as much as possible, as we are actively instructing and learning until 3:05 PM each day. If your student repeatedly leaves early, they are potentially missing key information.
