Lamar CISD Communications

The Lamar CISD Communications team supports all district campuses and departments with communication needs throughout the school year to keep parents and guardians informed.

They also inform external audiences, including the news media, community members, and community partners.


How do I receive communication from my student(s) campus?

All campuses use ParentSquare to inform parents and guardians for daily communication. In the event of a campus incident or emergency, the communications team works diligently with the campus administration and provides information as necessary to parents and guardians. The safety of students, staff members, and guests is always the top priority. All information will be sent to district families in various ways, including:

 

 

 

  • The use of any Lamar CISD logo including campuses must be approved by the Communications Department. The District reserves the right to deny any request that fails to comply with any aspect of the Logo & Trademark Use Policy.

    Interpretation Services 
    Translation services play a crucial role in facilitating communication between schools and families with diverse language backgrounds. This study explores the reasons why schools use translation services, the impact of these services, and best practices for effective implementation.

    Our translation services are designed to assist parents, students, and staff in overcoming language barriers to ensure that every student has the opportunity to succeed. Lamar Consolidated Independent School district offers Spanish language translation through the Communication Department to help district campuses, departments, employees, students, and families support. 

    Note: To meet translation and interpretation needs that exceed the district’s in-house capacity, Lamar CISD works with external translation and interpretation service providers that may be contacted directly by the school administrator and/ or departments to secure the necessary resources.
