Spring GT Referrals and Kindergarten Screening
Each year Lago Vista ISD evaluates all kindergarteners to identify students for the Gifted and Talented program. During this screening process, with your consent, your child will complete one or more assessments. These assessments will be administered at school during the next few weeks, and will provide us with multiple measures of ability, creativity, and academic aptitude. Please check your child’s Friday folder for the consent form and return to Heather Womack, GT Facilitator, by Tuesday, February 2nd. If you signed a consent form when you registered your child for kindergarten, you do not need to sign a new consent form. The spring referral window for students in grades 1-12 is now open. Please visit the Curriculum and Instruction page on the district website, or click on the link below, for the referral form. All referral forms are due February 2nd.

LVISD Monthly Character Trait...
How are you showing Citizenship? Read the Counselor's Corner to find out what students are learning about citizenship with Ms. Box.
Counselor's Corner
Classes have been learning how to be a good citizen this month. We have had great discussions about how we can each do our part to make our home, school, and community a better place to live. We have also discussed different outcomes for the future if we don’t do our part to make the world a better place. The kids have come up with the following cute examples of how they plan to do their part: older kids could read to a younger kid or help them with their work, recycle every day, keep the trees so animals will have a place to live, pick up all the trash in the neighborhood, help your teachers, listen to your teachers so you can learn, give your toys and clothes to another kid that may not have much, and respect police officers, your parents, and teachers. The kids have done a great job this month and have promised to be good citizens.
