Teach Love Inspire
Welcome New Students
7:15-7:40 Arrival- Please make sure that your student is wearing a mask, has his/her backpack and water bottle and is ready to unload during morning arrival. Parents--please pull all the way to the front and watch for staff to help with directions. We will continue taking temperatures to help with safety so having students ready to unload will help the line move smoothly.
Arrival after 7:40--Please come to the front office to sign in inside the office and staff will check the student's temperature.
Dismissal- Please have your sign in the front window. If you are picking up additional students, please let staff know as you pass them in the circle. Please do not be on your cell phone as you move through the car line. Please forward quickly as cars move.
We appreciate all you do to ensure our students are here to receive the best possible educational experience!
Starting off the New Year Right!

Attention Parents of Bus Riders
As you know, students moving between face-to-face and remote instruction is to be expected this year. The number of students riding our bus routes not only changes each 9 weeks, due to required periods of isolation and quarantine, ridership changes from day to day. Although we are working to keep pickup and drop-off times as consistent as possible, we ask that parents please prepare for buses to arrive within a 10-15 minute window on either side of the established pick-up/drop-off time.
For more information on transportation services, including how to look up your student's bus route information, please visit http://www.lagovistaisd.net/page/transportation.home.
As always, we appreciate your patience and flexibility as we work to meet the needs of our students and families!
MEDICATIONS NEED TO BE KEPT WITH THE NURSE
Just a quick reminder that students are not allowed to carry medication with them at school (exceptions are inhaler/EPI pen). If your student must carry an inhaler or EPI pen, you will need to complete new permission forms for the 2020-2021 school year.
If you would like to keep over the counter meds in the clinic, they must be sent in their original container and you will need to complete new permission forms.
You can review our Medication Administration Policy HERE before sending medication to school.

Click here for the form needed in order for your child to carry an inhaler with them.
Click here for the form that allows your child to carry and self-administer their own EPI pen.
Please print and fill out the appropriate forms. You may bring them to your child's school directly or fax them to the appropriate campus.
