Matador Matters

Lubbock ISD classes are on a two-hour delay today, Monday, January 30 due to the increased likelihood of icy roadways, parking lots, and sidewalks on our campuses. School start times will be adjusted as follows: elementary schools will begin at 9:45 a.m., middle schools will begin at 10:20 a.m., and high schools will begin at 10:15 a.m. Buses will run on a two-hour delay schedule. Students and staff should wear proper shoes for slick conditions.

Your safety is important to us, so please allow extra time and drive carefully as you travel to school today, avoiding Loop 289, Interstate 27, and the Marsha Sharp Freeway.

Most colleges require either the SAT or ACT and express no preference for either test. That said, significant percentages of students at selective colleges are submitting scores from both tests when they apply. Preparing for two major standardized tests may sound daunting, but there are some very good reasons to take both the SAT and ACT, and it's easier (and more affordable!) than ever before to prep for both tests.

Classroom visits for 10th and 11th graders for course selections for next year are coming soon. Start thinking about classes you want.

1. FASFA requirement for graduation. LEARN will be on campus on Wednesday's and Thursday's. Set up an appointment to get this done.

2. College acceptances and scholarships: Please get this information to Mrs. Rodriguez at medesa.rodriguez@lubbockisd.org, so we can announce your accomplishment.

3. Cap and Gown: All cap and gowns should be ordered by the middle of February to insure delivery before graduation.
