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 February 4, 2015

Feb 04, 2015 | Bud Whileyman

One area of the curriculum that has been difficult for schools to deal with has been the tough new math standards.  Grades in math have declined at all schools because the rigor of the math curriculum has forced teachers to teach many new concepts that were previously taught at a higher grade.  For example, in grades 4 and 5 less than 50% of the material was similar to last year’s curriculum.  The other half of math is either new or moved down from a higher grade level.  This is all by state mandate and not from the local districts.  So right now all teachers are trying to catch up to get students where they need to be at their current grade level.  Because of the difficulty of this year’s Math STAAR test, 5th grade students are not required to pass the math section in order to be promoted.  In fact only a raw score will be given in May for grades 3-5 and the pass/fail standard will not be established until August.  Our teachers are working very hard to meet this new challenge so that our students will be prepared for future grade levels.

Yearbooks are all sale through this month only.  You can order online also by visiting:  http://www.ybpay.lifetouch.com; Yearbook ID Code:  8717015.  




On a lighter note, the kindergarten students look so cute in their hundred day outfits.  It is hard to believe we have passed one hundred days of school which means we are well over halfway through the school year.  Many of the students and teachers in kindergarten dressed as older individuals symbolizing the aging process or what is would look like to be 100 years old.
