April 8:Total Eclipse Information
Families have the ability to “opt out” if they are concerned about their student viewing the solar eclipse due to safety concerns. See details in link by clicking here.
When to take your child to urgent care vs. the emergency room: We love winter, but not the respiratory illnesses that come with it. If your child starts showing symptoms of COVID-19, flu, or other illness, contact your primary care provider for guidance, or after hours, visit an urgent care for non-life-threatening symptoms. Click on the link above to learn more from Children’s Health℠ experts as they share signs and symptoms to look for when deciding whether urgent vs. ER care is needed
An Important Message From Nurse Causey
Covid, Flu, & Strep - Oh My!
We are seeing a lot of cases of Covid, Flu and Strep at school. Many children are coming to school sick. Please see the below guidelines for illness at school and when to keep your student home.
Fever: According to the Texas Department of State Health Services, a student with temperature of 100.0 F (37.8 °C) or greater should be excluded from school until free of fever for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications such as Tylenol or Ibuprofen
Vomiting & Diarrhea: Students who experience vomiting and/or diarrhea may be infectious, feel uncomfortable, and be unable to focus in the classroom. The decision to exclude/not exclude a student with diarrhea or vomiting is made at the discretion of the school nurse or administrator. When excluded, the student should not return to school until free of vomiting/diarrhea for 24 hours without medication.
Strep Throat: Students diagnosed with strep throat should be kept home until they have been on antibiotics for 24 hours AND are fever free for a full 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications such as Tylenol or Ibuprofen.
Sniffles and Coughs: Doctors agree that you can go to work and school with the sniffles as long as you feel all right otherwise. Stay home if you have a heavy cough accompanied by a steady stream of mucus. Also, stay home if the cough is accompanied by rapid or labored breathing or fever. Prolonged coughing (several weeks) may warrant physician evaluation.
- According to the Texas Department of State Health Services, children that test positive for COVID-19 should be excluded from school for 5 days following their symptom onset, with a return on Day 6 provided they are fever-free for 24 hours without the use of medication.
- Absences related to COVID-19 should be reported to the campus attendance clerk with a parent or doctor note in order for the absence to be excused. *If the student's 5 days from symptom onset includes more than 3 consecutive missed school days, then per the PISD Student Handbook, a doctor's note verifying the illness or condition that caused the absence will be required to excuse the extended absence.
Lunch Link
Please be mindful of that our student population is increasing with frequent enrollment; please only register for one day per week. We always want to give every parent the opportunity to visit and have lunch with their Lilyana Legends. There will be predetermined slots available for each grade level and our parents/grandparents must register to attend lunch. You only need to register one time per family, not for each family member coming for lunch!
Our goal is to ensure the safety of our students and to also remain in compliance with the cafeteria occupancy. Parents, we thank you in advance for understanding and appreciate your support.

Character Strong
Cooperation
Cooperation is 1 of 3 traits we will focus on throughout the year that helps students Be Kind. Across grade levels, students will be developing skills like perspective-taking, conflict resolution, and leadership.
Children's Books on Cooperation
- It allows you to spend quality time together.
- It improves reading skills. Reading aloud to children builds vocabulary and provides exposure to more complex words and sentences which supports writing skills and reading comprehension.
- It imparts new perspectives.
Below, you'll find book suggestions where you can discuss cooperation during bedtime stories.
Dinner Table Conversation Starters
Having dinner has many positive impacts on children. Below are a few conversation starters to try with your child(ren) while you are eating dinner together. You can also use these while you're driving to or from your child's activities (soccer, theater, dance, etc.),
- What does Cooperation mean in your own words?
- What is 1 way we can practice Cooperation as a family?
