Lamar CISD adopted a new form of school-to-home communication called ParentSquare. This unified communications platform is designed to keep parents and guardians informed and encourage greater engagement and connection with Lamar CISD. ParentSquare will be replacing the current School Messenger system.

ParentSquare provides a safe way for district administrators, school principals, teachers, staff, and parents to:

• Send and receive school and class information
• Share pictures and files
• See calendar items
• Sign up to volunteer
• Schedule parent-teacher conferences

Texas Government Code, Chapter 552, gives you the right to access government records; and an officer for public information and the officer’s agent may not ask why you want them. All government information is presumed to be available to the public. Certain exceptions may apply to the disclosure of the information. Governmental bodies shall promptly release requested information that is not confidential by law, either constitutional, statutory, or by judicial decision, or information for which an exception to disclosure has not been sought.

All requests must be submitted in writing and should contain:

• Your name
• E-mail address
• Address
• Phone number
• Fax number (if applicable)
• Description of the information and/or document is requested

A public information request must be in writing to the governmental body you believe maintains the information.  However, your written request needs to be for information already in existence. A governmental body is not required to answer questions, perform legal research, or create new information in response to your public information request.

As part of the ongoing commitment to meet the needs of our school community, Lamar CISD offers a variety of services, including translation and interpretation to departments and campuses.  

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.
