A Message from Mrs. Davis
It has been great to see teachers' sweet interactions as they build relationships with their new class. Everyone is slowly learning how to utilize technology resources and submit assignments. It is our mission to make every child feel welcome, connected, and a part of the LV Intermediate family.
We hope that you will find our website helpful and informative. All of the information we send out via email can also be found on our webpage through the LVISD district website. Our weekly newsletters are emailed prior to the start of each week and also posted on the Lago Vista Intermediate Facebook page.
I am honored to serve as the principal of Lago Vista Intermediate School. It is truly a privilege to be part of this community where parents, teachers, and students care for each other and strive to build positive relationships that support academic and social growth. Please feel free to contact me at (512)267-8300 extension 3501 or stacie_davis@lagovista.txed.net.
Great to See Everyone at IPAD Distribution

For the week of August 17-21, we will have lessons on growth mindset. Growth mindset helps us to get motivated and interested in learning and reaching new goals. It sets us on a track of positivity that provides a framework for our kids’ success. We begin the week sharing “What Do You Do With a Chance?” by Kobi Yamada. This story depicts the importance and the utilization of growth mindset. Here are some other reading selections that support the growth mindset:
