A Note From the Principals
Parents,
Our staff spent the first week of January reviewing procedures and campus expectations with your students. Please reinforce these expectations at home by speaking with your students about what's going on at school, checking Conduct Cards daily, and making sure they are present as much as possible!

REPEATED INFORMATION:
Attendance Notes
Excuse notes are required for all absences within 5 school days of your child's return. Notes can be sent in your child's backpack or via email. If you choose to email excuse notes - send to classroom teachers AND our Attendance Clerk (kathleen.rachar@lcisd.org).
***This is the best way to ensure that excuse notes are received.***

Parent Visitors at Lunch
You are invited to eat and visit with your child during their lunch time daily, unless the campus is shut down to visitors (testing days). Visitors will be asked to adhere to the following rules while on campus:
1.) Siblings (of any age) are not permitted on campus during school hours.
2.) Visitors should come at lunch time, visit with your child, and then will be asked to leave. This is NOT a time for conferences with the teachers. Teachers are on duty at this time and must be attentive to the needs of the other children at lunch.
3.) Only your student may sit with you at the Parent/Student Lunch Table.
4.) Food should not be shared with students outside of your family.
5.) Cell phone camera feature should not be used.
Thank you for helping keep our Wranglers safe!
SMART Tags
Parents, please be sure to create a Parent Portal Account in Smart Tag, to ensure that you know your student’s bus route, bus stops, and other important information to track your student while riding the bus to and from school. All information can be found here: https://www.lcisd.org/departments/support-services/transportation/smart-tag-information
Replacement costs -
*All students have been given a SMART Tag for 23-24. If your student loses their tag, they will need to bring the following for replacements:
$5 for the ID
$3 for the lanyard

SMART Tags are required for every student, every day!
