This year, we are counting down until Thursday. Each day has a different theme.
12/13 - Wear red and green socks on your feet. This will make you really neat!
12/14 - Deck the Halls! Bring out your favorite holiday accessories (lights, garland, Santa hat, etc)
12/15 - Sweater Weather - Wear your favorite snuggly sweater
12/16 - Tis the Season! Wear red and green, and let's start the countdown

Kindness Week
In guidance class, the students celebrated kindness week. They shared kindness quotes, wrote kindness notes, and created kindness sidewalk messages in chalk around the school. See their amazing work below. Everyday they had a different task: say hello to five people, compliment someone, and help someone else. Our students are amazing!
Project Vinatta
Project Vinatta held their December meeting. They are working on some great projects to help spread kindness and their mission of inclusion. They have a special project that they will be sharing with the student body very soon. Special thanks to Mrs. Tilotta and Mrs. Gumbert for sponsoring this amazing group. Our mission of inclusion and kindness truly makes a difference! Next month’s meeting is scheduled for January 18th at 7:00 am. Please contact Mrs. Gumbert with any questions: cynthia_gumbert@lagovista.tx.net
Highlights from the Week
ANNUAL STUDENT REGISTRATION
IMPORTANT! PLEASE COMPLETE ANNUAL STUDENT REGISTRATION FORMS IN ASCENDER PARENT PORTAL!
If you have not done so, it is important that you complete the annual registration process ASAP. This must be completed each year because these forms provide us with important permissions and information that must be provided annually. Students without completed registration forms will begin to lose certain privileges until they are completed, so please take a moment to submit those forms in Ascender.
HOW DO I ACCESS PARENT PORTAL?

¿NECESITA ESPAÑOL?
Todos los formularios de registro también están en español. Para continuar en español, hay un menú desplegable en la esquina superior derecha de la página de inicio de sesión para cambiar al español.
WHAT IF I HAVE A NEWLY ENROLLED STUDENT? WHAT IF DON'T SEE MY ENROLLED STUDENT IN ASCENDER PARENT PORTAL?
If you enrolled your student during summer enrollment, you must still complete annual registration forms. If you don't see your enrolled student when you log in, an Ascender Parent Portal ID is needed in order to link to your student and complete the annual registration forms.
Please email your campus registrar to receive your student's Ascender Parent Portal ID. Please note that there may be slight delays in answering requests during peak times, such as this, but we will get it to you as quickly as possible!
Once you receive your student's Ascender Parent Portal ID from the campus registrar, please log into Ascender Parent Portal, select "Link to Enrolled Student", and enter the Parent Portal ID and the student's date of birth.
WHAT IF I SEE MY STUDENT, BUT DON'T HAVE A "REGISTRATION" OPTION?
In order to complete forms or update data for a student, the email address you have listed in Ascender Parent Portal must match what we have in our system. If you can see your student, but can't update any information, those email addresses do not match. We recommend updating and verifying your email address in Ascender Parent Portal. If you need us to change your email address in our system, please email registration@lagovista.txed.net and your campus registrar. You will be asked to provide your student's full name, date of birth, and grade level for verification purposes.
