Advisory Changes Protocol
If you would like to make a change to a student in your advisory, you need to send an email requesting the change to Mrs. Huerta and include the teacher who is the current advisory teacher of the student.
That way everyone is in the loop.
If you don't do it this way, Mrs. Huerta will send the email back to you!
Mark your calendar - Meet the Teacher Tailgate
The city of Lago Vista is planning a HOMECOMING PARADE!
Teachers and staff will be available at the end of the parade route from 6:00 - 7:30 pm on Wednesday, September 18, to meet with parents and students. Students who attend with a parent will earn a free homework pass! Come support our school during homecoming week and meet these teachers your students have been talking about. It's a win-win!
