Thank You
We have been off to a busy start this year! However, I want to take a moment to thank our families for trusting us with your children in these challenging times. Thank you for reading with your child daily. Thank you for supporting our teachers and staff members. Thank you for communicating to us when your child is ill and keeping them home when they are sick. Thank you for smiling in the car rider line even when the line is long. We appreciate all that you do and the support that you provide us. To quote Helen Keller, “Alone, we can do so little; together, we can do so much.” Thank you!
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.
Thank a Board Member
January is School Board Appreciation Month. Our Board of Trustees volunteer their time to ensure Lago Vista ISD students and staff thrive and that students fulfill their highest potential and are able to reach their aspirations and dreams. Our entire community benefits from their personal sacrifices and countless hours and dedication. Thank you to our Lago Vista School Board for their extraordinary service!

Lessons on Friendship
In guidance class, students are learning about friendships. We will share and discuss, “The Brand New Kid” by Katie Couric. It is a book which helps us to think of others in a positive way. One message of the story is to encourage students to have empathy for others. We will create flip books as a part of our healthy friendship lesson and use it as a reminder of the lesson learned.
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?

¿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.
