LVISD Education Foundation
Have you heard of the Lago Vista ISD Education Foundation? The foundation has been around for many years and strives to support our LVISD students and educators. The foundation raises funds to provide grants to LVISD Educators. The grants fund equipment and supplies for students! Lago Vista ISD students are the direct beneficiaries!
The Education Foundation is currently looking for community volunteers to help with our Giving Tuesday Campaign. You can learn more about the organization and how to help at our website, https://www.lvisdeftx.com , or by emailing lvisdeftx@gmail.com.

Free and Reduced- Price Meal News
As a reminder, LVISD transitioned back to Free and Reduced-Price Meals for the 22-23 school year. The federal government is no longer funding the free lunch program, which was part of the COVID-19 pandemic aid package. All families are encouraged to fill out the Free and Reduced-Price Meals applications. If your child previously received free or reduced-priced meals, a new application must be received to determine if your child still qualifies. Previous free and reduced-meal eligibility has now expired. You can fill out the Free & Reduced Meal application online at MySchoolApps by clicking on the following links:
For questions regarding applications, please contact Michelle Jackson, and for questions regarding student purchases, please contact Jennifer Porter.
