Welcome Back!
I know our teachers were excited to see their students back on Wednesday. The break was nice, but it is wonderful to be back at school! I want to encourage families to mark their calendar for any upcoming student holidays. The spring semester is always busy and seems to fly by each year. I am looking forward to an amazing second half of the school year. Let's start January strong! Remember, We All Row!
LVISD is Superior
Lago Vista ISD receives a rating of “A” for “Superior Achievement” under Texas’ School Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas (FIRST), a report designed to ensure that Texas public schools are held accountable for their financial management practices.
The “Superior Achievement” rating is the state’s highest, demonstrating the quality of the district’s financial management and reporting system. Congratulations LVISD! View the 2020-2021 LVISD detailed report.
It's Great to See our Vikings Back at School!
Door Decorating Contest
Take Care of Texas Art Contest
At LVIS, we have some AMAZING artists! I want to encourage students to participate and enter the “Take Care of Texas Kids Art Contest.” The Contest is a fun way for K-5 students to learn about protecting the environment and come up with creative ways to share this knowledge with others! Students submit their artwork of how they, along with their friends and family, help keep the air and water clean, conserve water and energy, and reduce waste. The prizes include a tablet or laptop computer. Good luck Vikings! For more information, visit the website at https://takecareoftexas.org/index.php/kids/k-5-art-contest

Annual Student Registration
IMPORTANT! PLEASE COMPLETE ANNUAL STUDENT REGISTRATION FORMS IN ASCENDER PARENT PORTAL!
If you have not done so, it is important that you complete the annual registration process ASAP. This must be completed each year because these forms provide us with important permissions and information that must be provided annually. Students without completed registration forms will begin to lose certain privileges until they are completed, so please take a moment to submit those forms in Ascender.
HOW DO I ACCESS PARENT PORTAL?
https://ascportal.esc13.net/ParentPortal/login?distid=227912
¿NECESITA ESPAÑOL?
Todos los formularios de registro también están en español. Para continuar en español, hay un menú desplegable en la esquina superior derecha de la página de inicio de sesión para cambiar al español.
WHAT IF I HAVE A NEWLY ENROLLED STUDENT? WHAT IF DON'T SEE MY ENROLLED STUDENT IN ASCENDER PARENT PORTAL?
If you enrolled your student during summer enrollment, you must still complete annual registration forms. If you don't see your enrolled student when you log in, an Ascender Parent Portal ID is needed in order to link to your student and complete the annual registration forms.
Please email your campus registrar to receive your student's Ascender Parent Portal ID. Please note that there may be slight delays in answering requests during peak times, such as this, but we will get it to you as quickly as possible!
Once you receive your student's Ascender Parent Portal ID from the campus registrar, please log into Ascender Parent Portal, select "Link to Enrolled Student", and enter the Parent Portal ID and the student's date of birth.
WHAT IF I SEE MY STUDENT, BUT DON'T HAVE A "REGISTRATION" OPTION?
In order to complete forms or update data for a student, the email address you have listed in Ascender Parent Portal must match what we have in our system. If you can see your student, but can't update any information, those email addresses do not match. We recommend updating and verifying your email address in Ascender Parent Portal. If you need us to change your email address in our system, please email registration@lagovista.txed.net and your campus registrar. You will be asked to provide your student's full name, date of birth, and grade level for verification purposes.
