Football Game Reminders for Fans
1. All LVES students must be accompanied by an adult guardian in order to attend Lago Vista High School varsity football home games. The students must remain under the supervision of that guardian while at the stadium. Students are not permitted on the practice field at any point during football games.
2. Standing, loitering, or horseplay under and around the stadium stands, concession stands, or any other area is prohibited. 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 stadium and campus.
3. Once inside the stadium, middle school and high school students with a student ticket will be allowed to sit in the designated student area on the home side of the stadium. Students may sit in the reserved or general admission sections only if they are under the supervision of an adult guardian.
4. The use of alcohol, controlled substances, tobacco, and electronic cigarettes are prohibited on school premises.
Lago Vista ISD appreciates everyone’s cooperation and support as we work to keep a safe and enjoyable environment at Viking football games.

Counselor's Corner
Hello LVES Families!
Our first week of class guidance lessons have been fun and full of us getting to know about each other, and what I can do as the school counselor for all students! It is important to me that students as well as parents understand my role as the counselor. The elementary years are a time when students begin to develop their self-concept and feelings of confidence as learners. They are beginning to develop decision-making and life skills, as well as character values. They also begin to form their attitudes toward school, self, peers, and family. My role as their school counselor is important to them, and by collaborating with teachers and parents, I am able to help all students in each of these areas. I also work to ensure that barriers to learning and skill development are removed, and that all students have equal access to a solid education.
Please reach out to me anytime you have concerns about your child, or if your child needs anything to help them become healthy and confident learners. We want all children to achieve academic success, and enjoy being at school!
Thank you!
Amy Sexton
¡Hola familias LVES! ¡Nuestra primera semana de lecciones de orientación ha sido divertida y llena de información sobre el otro y sobre lo que puedo hacer como consejero escolar para todos los estudiantes! Es importante para mí que tanto los alumnos como los padres entiendan mi papel como consejero. Los años de primaria son un momento en que los estudiantes comienzan a desarrollar su autoconcepto y sentimientos de confianza como aprendices. Están comenzando a desarrollar habilidades para la toma de decisiones y la vida, así como también valores de carácter. También comienzan a formar sus actitudes hacia la escuela, el yo, los compañeros y la familia. Mi papel como consejero escolar es importante para ellos, y al colaborar con maestros y padres, puedo ayudar a todos los estudiantes en cada una de estas áreas. También trabajo para asegurar que se eliminen las barreras para el aprendizaje y el desarrollo de habilidades, y que todos los estudiantes tengan igual acceso a una educación sólida.
Comuníquese conmigo siempre que tenga inquietudes sobre su hijo o si su hijo necesita algo que lo ayude a convertirse en un alumno saludable y seguro. ¡Queremos que todos los niños logren el éxito académico y disfruten de estar en la escuela!
¡Gracias!
