News From Mr Vogler - Principal of LVMS
Dear Parents And Guardians,
Please join me for coffee on Wednesday, August 9th from 7-8am here at the LVMS library. It is my goal to establish an on going line of communication with families. This will offer an intentionally informal opportunity to discuss student and family experiences and expectations as they regard Lago Vista Middle School.
In addition to the coffee, I will be scheduling a few opportunities in the evening where we can engage the aforementioned informal discussions with one another. I recognize that not all of our parents/guardians will be able to attend morning coffee sessions, but we do all typically eat dinner in the evenings.
As I get dates for coffee and dining on the calendar, I will be sure to make you all aware via our school online calendar and newsletter.
Until then, I look forward to meeting some of you at the first "Coffee With the Principal!"
EVERY WEDNESDAY IN LVISD IS COLLEGE DAY! BE SURE TO SPORT YOUR FAVORITE COLLEGE'S GEAR!
