Welcome to Lago Vista Elementary School Vikings!
LVES Teachers Are Learners Too!
Face Mask Update
We understand that this change in the mask requirements may prompt some parents to request a change to the online instructional setting. If you would like to change your setting from face-to-face to online only, please email Mrs. Jackson and registration@lagovista.txed.net by August 12th. We are not taking requests to change to face-to-face instruction. Please know that making this change will delay a teacher welcome email on August 11th, but that we will get that information to you as soon as possible.
Thank you so much for your understanding as we continue to make plans for a safe return for our students and staff.
iPad Distribution Day - August 10th and 11th
Here is the distribution schedule:
- August 10th - Students with last names starting with A-K
- August 11th - Students with last names starting L-Z
If you have not completed your child's registration forms, including the instructional setting, an iPad will not be distributed to your child on Monday or Tuesday. You must fill out the required registration paperwork before an iPad can be distributed.
Meet The Teacher
Here is the plan for Meet The Teacher 2020:
- Teachers will email (virtual postcard) parents on the morning of August 11th introducing themselves and welcoming students to their classroom. Teachers will also include a sign up for a 5-minute Google Meet on August 12th.
- Individual meetings with students will be held on August 12th according to the sign up sent out on August 11th. Please keep in mind the purpose of this Google Meet is for the teacher and student to see each other and say "hi". In order for teachers to spend time with all students, the Google Meets will only be about 5-minutes in length. We will be hosting a virtual Parent Night on August 17th to answer questions regarding schedules and curriculum. Teachers will not be available to meet with parents outside of times set in the sign ups as they will be in professional development and preparing for the first day of school.
- Drive thru Meet The Teacher Night parade on August 12th from 5:30-6:30 pm. This will be a chance for families to drive through the parking lot to wave hi and see your child's teacher in person. In order to help with the flow of traffic, grade levels will be assigned to the following locations: Front Drive: PPCD, PK, Office Staff, and Special Education; Civic Drive: Kindergarten and First Grade; Travis Drive: Second Grade, Third Grade, Specials, and Specialists. We encourage parents to decorate their cars with signs of encouragement for our teachers, and honk and wave as they pull through the locations!
As a reminder, if you have not chosen an instructional setting for your child, he/she will not be placed in a class, and will not receive an email from his/her teacher on August 11th. Please help us by completing this step as soon as possible.
