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.
Parking Permits
Parking permits are $35 and can be paid for online at the link below. Students should complete the form (they can pick them up from the front office) and show payment confirmation in order to receive a permit.
Have you heard of the Lago Vista ISD Education Foundation?
We have been around for many years and are a foundation that fundraises to give grants to educators in our district. Those grants fund equipment and supplies for students. Lago Vista ISD students are the direct beneficiaries of all of our efforts.
We are currently looking for community volunteers to help with our Souper Bowl Raffle Sales.
You can learn more about how to help and who we are on our Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/LVISDEF, our website, https://www.lvisdeftx.com or by emailing lvisdeftx@gmail.com.
When LVISD students thrive, our community does too!
Booster Club Corner
Did you know that the LV Viking Booster Club provides funds to every sport in the district? Throughout the year, concessions represents our biggest fundraiser and the funds that are raised are used to provide athletic equipment for all sports. So we truly represent one club fundraising for all district sports. We are so happy to have the ability to support so many, but we need your help in order to continue funding these programs successfully. We need volunteers from every sport to sign up for concessions. As a side note, we are now able to accept all credit cards and Apple Pay in concessions with our newly installed and easy to use point of sale system. We are excited and focused on creating a culture of volunteerism district wide and we can only be successful together!
Covid Protocols
Dear Parents,
With a new year back in gear, we wanted to update everyone on this year's Covid Protocol. Instead of students staying home for any single Covid symptom, we have differentiated the symptoms into milder and more serious ones. Please see the different symptom lists here. The number of restricted days has also changed from 10 days to 5 days of isolation.
We hope this helps clarify the process for everyone.
Please don't hesitate to call your nurse if you have questions.
Note from Nurse Carmichael
For all my families who need specialized diets, this is a wonderful new tool
I found from FARE.
FARE is the site most used by families with allergy concerns but this new tool
helps anyone looking for help choosing the foods that are right for them.
(Vegan, Gluten free, Keto, FODMAP, Mediterranean, you name it... Also what
foods to avoid if on certain medications.)
While it does promote foods by certain manufacturers, it is very instructive
in general as you learn about foods that fit and foods that don't. You still need
to be a careful label reader.

Every Wednesday in LVISD is college day! Students should wear their favorite college t-shirt!
