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.

News

Astronotes for October 29, 2014

Oct 29, 2014 | Bud Whileyman
 thank you flowers

We had another great carnival this past Friday.
  The turnout and weather were great.  The students seem to really enjoy all of the activities. Thanks to everyone that helped to make this year’s carnival another successful one.  This year we had the carnival on a Friday night instead of Saturday afternoon.  In the past we would have conflicts with soccer, baseball, and other activities on Saturday that many of our students participate in.  There is never a perfect day to have the carnival as I am sure even Friday had some conflicts.  If you have a preference for next year, please contact a PTO Board member at the beginning of school next year.  Even though we are not going to make everyone happy, we will try to choose the day that is best for the majority of parents.

Next week, we have our first nine weeks parent conferences.  You will receive your child’s report card and a brief update on how he/she is doing in class.  This is a great time to ask questions and get clarification on anything that you are confused about.  If you have already not done so, please schedule a time and date for this important meeting.

Finally, don’t forget to set your clocks back one hour this Sunday as daylight savings time comes to an end.  We don’t want you arriving an hour early to school and have to wait for the doors to open.  The hour of morning light will come sooner and the darkness of the evening will occur earlier.  We will all have to make adjustments to our schedules.  Have a great weekend and enjoy the extra hour of sleep!
