Elementary LISD App Store
Lewisville ISD remains committed to providing digital access for learning. After many discussions with LISD parents, teachers, administrators and Technology Department, the district is set to launch an LISD App Store for elementary students during the first semester of the 2015-2016 school year. In addition, LISD has developed new iPad guidelines for secondary students.
By introducing the elementary LISD App Store, the district is able to focus educational opportunities for students by streamlining all apps that are downloaded to district-issued elementary student iPads through one portal.
- Only the LISD App Store will be available on the elementary student iPad.
- Only approved, specific apps can be installed on student iPads to prevent any unwanted apps (all apps reviewed for instructional value and appropriateness).
- Any student/parent purchased apps will no longer be available on LISD elementary iPads.
For a current list of apps in the Elementary LISD App Store, please see link

About Ms. Bryce
Bobcat Families,
I am thrilled to be your Library Media Specialist this year! I look forward to working with your students and supporting them as they grow academically.
All about me:
- I taught Kindergarten, 1st grade, and 4th grade before becoming a librarian.
- I graduated from Texas State University in San Marcos and spend a semester abroad teaching in London, England in a private school.
- I received my Master's Degree from the University of North Texas in Library and Information Sciences.
- I have a love for children and learning which keeps me motivated to continue teaching and working with students. My favorite lessons involve technology.
- In my free time I like to read, write, run, and paint.
- My favorite hobby is traveling, and I've been to 20 countries so far!
This is my 7th year as a librarian.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to support your child this year, and feel free to contact me anytime.
