Early Pick-Up Procedures
1. Arrive before 1:45
2. Bring your ID with you.
3. Follow the instructions on the desktop located in the foyer.
4. We will call your student out of class.
5. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate call-ahead services, but will get your child as quickly as possible once you arrive.
We ask that you arrive no later than 1:45 to pick your student up. If you arrive after this time, you will not be able to pick your student up until regular dismissal time. This is to preserve our dismissal processes which ensure the safety of all of our students and that everyone gets home the way their parents intended. Please help us help you!

PTO News
The LVES Parent Teacher Organization creates opportunities for parents, teachers, and students to learn, socialize, communicate, and grow!
Our non-profit organization is dependent on monetary donations to supply our school with everything the children need to have an amazing and above average elementary school experience. Funds raised go directly to the requests of our teachers and staff to enhance classroom materials and our student’s learning environment. We also host some exciting extracurricular events to bring students and their families together outside of school hours! By becoming a member of the PTO you are showing your support and school spirit for Lago Vista Elementary.
Thank you again to all of our wonderful PTO Members and Sponsors! Our 2021-2022 Vinyl Banners are hung on the fence along Dawn Drive!
