Special Announcements for Seniors
If you have earned a scholarship from an outside organization (not a Lago Vista/Point Venture organization), please send written documentation of the scholarship via email to Mrs. Slaughter. We would like to include your scholarship information as part of our Blue & Gold Ceremony and post the accomplishment in the graduation program. We can only include scholarship information that has been submitted to Mrs. Slaughter by May 10! Help us brag about you!!
Please note: All local scholarships will be announced at the Blue & Gold Ceremony and will be in the graduation program.
Blue & Gold Invitations will go home next week! We hope to see you there!

Attendance Matters.
Our schoolwide attendance goal for this year is 97%. Our state funding is based on the percentage of students at school at 10:30 am every day. Higher attendance rate = more money for resources for your student.
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 and phone call from the 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!
