Alert

In a growing school system, the district’s attendance zones will inevitably change to accommodate the growth. As a hypergrowth district, we are experiencing significant enrollment increases in some areas. As a result, some schools are over capacity while others have available capacity. The Board may consider leveling plans to balance student enrollment across campuses and alleviate overcrowding.   The district’s process is to collect feedback from community stakeholders regarding attendance boundary options. We specifically look to include parents from the potentially impacted campuses/areas. 

We appreciate everyone who provided input during the attendance boundary committee meetings and the leveling process.

The Lamar CISD Board of Trustees has approved new attendance zones that will impact Austin, Frost, Jackson, Long, Pink, Smith, and Travis Elementary Schools, which will go into effect for the 2024-2025 school year.

⤓ Board Approved Attendance Zones

En un sistema escolar en crecimiento, las zonas de asistencia del distrito cambiarán inevitablemente para adaptarse a este aumento. Como distrito de hipercrecimiento, estamos experimentando aumentos significativos de inscripciones en algunas zonas. Como resultado, algunas escuelas se encuentran por encima de su capacidad mientras que otras tienen capacidad disponible. La Mesa Directiva podría contemplar planes de nivelación para equilibrar las inscripciones de estudiantes en todos los campus y reducir la superpoblación.   El proceso del distrito consiste en recabar opiniones de las partes interesadas en la comunidad en relación a las opciones respecto a los límites de asistencia. Específicamente buscamos incluir a los padres de los campus/áreas que potencialmente se vean afectados. 

Agradecemos a todos los que dieron su opinión durante las reuniones del comité de límites de asistencia y el proceso de nivelación.

La Mesa Directiva de Lamar CISD ha aprobado nuevas zonas de asistencia que afectarán a las escuelas primarias Austin, Frost, Jackson, Long, Pink, Smith y Travis, que entrarán en vigor para el ciclo escolar 2024-2025.

We will not release students to parents parked in the parking lot. You must meet your child at the flag pole. 

News

Astronotoes for September 17, 2014

Sep 16, 2014 | Bud Whileyman

I want to remind parents that students may enter the building at 7:00 am in the mornings.  Even though some staff enter the building before 7:00, students will not be allowed inside until 7:00 am as these staff members may not be able to supervise students because of other obligations.  If I arrive before 7:00 I will normally let students in as I will be responsible for their supervision.  Please help us with this problem as we do not want students in the building that are not supervised.   

I talked with Mr. Jerry about how the traffic was going out front in the morning and afternoon.  He said we seem to have more cars dropping off and picking up than we have had in previous years.  He mentioned a couple of areas that he felt needed attention.  One area was having drivers signal their intentions when turning into the pickup area.  This would let other drivers know what to expect when they have to make a decision as to what they were going to do.  Another area he mentioned was for cars to keep a uniform distance from each other.  Some vehicles do not pull all the way forward while waiting in line and this prevents more cars from getting into the drive and out of the street.  If we all work together we can try to make the drop off/pickup area as smooth as possible.
