For the past several years, Lago Vista ISD has put together a list of various summer learning opportunities in the Austin area that may be helpful to Lago Vista ISD parents and students who are looking for summer fun and learning options. This year, we are pleased to announce that we have partnered with Live Grow Play Austin for our 2018 Summer Camp Guide. As a result of this partnership, this year's summer camp guide is fully searchable by interest, location, date, price, etc.

Thank you Live Grow Play Austin for partnering with Lago Vista ISD and for providing this awesome guide for our families! It’s definitely not too soon to start thinking about what you want to do to have a great summer!
Mark your calendar for Prom - Saturday, April 7!
Next Parent Chat - Drug and Alcohol Abuse Awareness.
- Nine out of ten people who are addicted begin to smoke, drink, or use other drugs before the age of 18.
- Students are likely to have their first encounter with marijuana in middle school (yikes, right?).
Join us on Wednesday, April 11, at 6:30 pm, in the LVHS PAC for a presentation from Leander ISD at-risk counselor Sherri Sneed as she shares tips for parents on how they can:
- Get prepared on how to help your student avoid the drug and alcohol scene;
- Notice signs of drug and alcohol abuse in young adults;
- Address drug and alcohol use with their young adults when it happens.
It will be a useful and candid conversation about drug use and what we can do as a community to prevent and address it.

Attendance Matters
Our schoolwide attendance goal for this year is 97%. Our state funding is based on the percentage of students at school at 10:15 am every day. Higher attendance rate = more money for resources for your student.
For students who exceed our 96% goal, we are planning some more exciting rewards this year, such as a movie in the PAC, Kona Ice, and exam exemptions!
For students who miss school, here is some very important attendance information:
- 3 or more unexcused absences in a 4 week period - warning letter sent home, phone conference with at-risk coordinator and attendance improvement plan.
- 5 or more unexcused absences in a 6-week period - warning letter sent home, phone conference with administrator, attendance behavior plan reviewed.
- 7 or more unexcused absences in an 8-week period - warning letter sent home and Behavior Intervention Plan meeting called with the parents, student, and assistant principal.
- 10 or more unexcused absences in a 6 month period - truancy charges are filed. Parent, student and school administrator will be summoned to appear in truancy court.
Our campus goal is to reach 97% attendance each day.
Thanks for your support!
