March 2022

Exciting Beginnings

Thank you all for the warm welcome to La Vernia ISD. I am thrilled to be here and begin serving our CTE and Advanced Academic teachers and students.

NEW FOR 2022!

In accordance with Texas Education Code (TEC), ยง28.0256, beginning with students enrolled in 12th grade during the 2021-2022 school year, each student must do one of the following in order to graduate:


  • Complete and submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA);
  • Complete and submit a Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA); or
  • Submit a signed opt-out form.


A student may opt out of the financial aid application graduation requirement if:

  • a parent or guardian submits a signed form;
  • the student is 18 years of age or older and submits a signed form; or
  • a school counselor authorizes the student to decline to complete and submit the application for good cause.


STUDENTS WILL UPLOAD PROOF OF COMPLETION OR A SIGNED OPT-OUT FORM INTO THEIR SCHOOLINKS ACCOUNT! THIS CAN BE DONE VIA A COMPUTER OR A QR CODE.


Here is a great resource to help navigate the FAFSA.

Juniors will be taking the TSI next week
