Become a Friend of the LVISD Education Foundation
Parents, we need your help! Are you adept at social marketing? Is managing money part of your repertoire? Do you enjoy planning parties? The Education Foundation is looking for volunteers to help with fundraising, fund management, and event planning. Our meetings are at 6 pm on the 2nd Wednesday of each month in the Viking Hall board room. Please join us or get in touch – email us at LVISDEFTX@gmail.com.
The Lago Vista ISD Education Foundation helps support the school district through teacher grants, PSAT costs and much more. Please consider becoming a Friend of the Foundation.
For more information, use the QR code below:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds;
- Cover coughs and sneezes with a disposable tissue or your arm/sleeve; and
- Avoiding touching your eyes, nose, or mouth.
As a reminder, it is Lago Vista ISD policy that students with a fever of 100 degrees or greater must stay out of school and not participate in after-school activities until they are fever-free for 24 hours without the aid of fever-reducing medication. Furthermore, students with diarrhea or vomiting must also stay home until they are symptom-free without symptom-suppressing medications for at least 24 hours.
Taking these steps will help minimize the exposure of illnesses like the flu and the possibility of spreading them to students and staff who are not sick. Thank you for helping us create the safest and healthiest learning environments for the students and staff of Lago Vista ISD!

Senior parents - don't miss out on important dates and deadlines for your graduate:
Attendance Matters
Our schoolwide attendance goal for this year is 97%. Our state funding is based on the percentage of students at school at 10:15 am every day. Higher attendance rate = more money for resources for your student.
For students who exceed our 96% goal, we are planning some more exciting rewards this year, such as a movie in the PAC, Kona Ice, and exam exemptions!
For students who miss school, here is some very important attendance information:
- 3 or more unexcused absences in a 4 week period - warning letter sent home and phone call from the principal.
- 7 or more unexcused absences in a 6-month period - warning letter sent home and Behavior Intervention Plan meeting called with the parents, student, and assistant principal.
- 10 or more unexcused absences in a 6 month period - truancy charges are filed. Parent, student and school administrator will be summoned to appear in truancy court.
Our campus goal is to reach 97% attendance each day.
