Instructional Materials Selection
This spring, Leander ISD will consider/adopt new instructional resources for six courses: American Sign Language I-IV, Chinese I-IV, AP US History, AP Calculus AB and BC, African-American Studies, & Mexican-American Studies. Members of our LISD community have opportunities and are encouraged to provide feedback on these resources from January 17 - February 17 through in-person viewing at Central Office and Cedar Park High School or by viewing the materials virtually on the district website.
LISD will host three Q&A Zoom meetings with district curriculum experts that allow community members to explore the options, ask questions and provide feedback. For questions about the instructional materials selection process, please reach out to Matt Bentz, Chief Academic Officer.
Help our Cheetahs!
We really need the help of our community with keeping our Cheetahs that walk to school safe.
Do you have one or more mornings a week to help at our Dagama or Aster Pass cross walks? The time commitment would be 7:05 - 7:30 am.
Is the afternoon a better time for you? 2:40 pm - 3:00 pm is all that is needed to ensure cars stop for our students to cross safely. You can pick a day and have it reserved just for you!
Contact the front office to pick your day. 512-570-5400 or Mariana.Standley@leanderisd.org
