COURSE SELECTION INFORMATION
Course selection for the 22-23 school year has begun for students currently in 9th, 10th, and 11th grades. Students were shown a video to review graduation requirements, advanced coursework, endorsements, and course selection this week; students were also given a choice sheet so they can select their courses. Students have been asked to bring the choice sheet home (on yellow paper) to have you sign it. They will bring that signed form back to school with them on Monday, 3/21, when we return from Spring Break.
Mrs. Clark will be meeting with each 9th & 10th grader one-on-one and Mrs. Hylander will meet one-on-one with the 11th graders to ensure students have chosen the appropriate courses for the 22-23 school year.
For more information, please visit the Course Selection page on the Counseling Website: https://sites.google.com/lagovista.txed.net/lvhs-counseling/home.
To contact your child's counselor, please send an email to:
9th & 10th Grade Counselor: Lara Clark, lara_clark@lagovista.txed.net
11th Grade Counselor: elanna_hylander@lagovista.txed.net
Junior Meetings
Mrs. Hylander is soon going to send a link to all juniors to sign up for a time to plan for their senior year! It is great if a parent/guardian attend the meeting as well! If you would like to attend your child's meeting, please help them sign up for a time that works for you when they get the sign up through Canvas next week!
Thank you!
TSIA2 College Placement Test
SENIOR PARENTS: We are offering the TSIA2 College Placement Test to all seniors for FREE! Most colleges in Texas use this test, along with the SAT and ACT, to determine college readiness for students. Some students are exempt from needing the TSIA2. Please see the TSIA2 Informational Brochure below for more information.
We are working with the Senior English and math teachers to administer this to students. We are thankful to be able to provide this service to our students.
Graduation Time Finalized!
Invitation for Parents: Success Beyond School
They have 5 fantastic seminars this term, including topics such as 'how to help your child choose their career' and 'how to inspire young women to become entrepreneurs.' These events are for parents of students aged 12-18 and are free to attend. Check out their website for more information.
LVISD is Superior!
Lago Vista ISD announced that the district received 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.

Annual Student registration forms
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.
NEED OTHER HELP?
See the Quick Guide to Setting Up Ascender Parent Portal below for more information or email registration@lagovista.txed.net.

Covid Related Attendance Concerns?
Lago Vista ISD students may be eligible to participate in remote conferencing for attendance purposes in the event they are unable to attend face-to-face instruction on campus. Students are eligible for remote conferencing if both of the following requirements are met:
The student is unable to attend school because of a temporary medical condition; AND
The total amount of remote conferencing does not exceed more than 20 instructional days over the entirety of the school year.
A student who is absent due to other reasons not listed above will not qualify to participate in remote conferencing and will be marked absent each day he/she is not physically present in school.
In addition to the two requirements above, one of the following requirements must also be met:
The student’s temporary medical condition is documented by a physician licensed to practice in the United States; OR
The student has a positive test result for a communicable condition (such as COVID-19); OR
The student has been identified as having been in close contact with COVID-19.
Students in remote conferencing instruction will continue to work on class assignments via Canvas, and receive synchronous (live) assistance from a designated Remote Conferencing teacher. To the extent possible, a dedicated certified teacher will be designated to provide remote conferencing throughout the duration of students’ time in this setting, but it will not be the students’ teacher of record. In addition to working on assignments, students will be required to attend daily attendance meetings that will count for the day’s attendance and keep your child within the 90% attendance rule while out temporarily.
You will be notified by ParentLink with specific remote conferencing instructions and Google Meet links if your child qualifies for this temporary opportunity. If your child receives a close contact notification from the school, there will be a link to a form to complete if you wish for your child to participate in remote conferencing.
