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 December 2, 2015

Dec 02, 2015 | Bud Whileyman

Our campus recently received over $17,000 in LEAF grants that went to many of our teachers.  Teachers submitted grant requests earlier in the school year and a LEAF committee decided which teachers would receive an award.  We are excited that so many of our staff received these grants.  The dollar amount was the most we have ever received in a school year.  Thanks to the LEAF committee and to all of our staff members that submitted grant requests.  Our students will be benefitting from all of this extra funding.
I want to give you the latest update on the gas smell we have experienced in the front part of the building.  Maintenance has given us the following on this situation: 
"Just to give an update on the heating boiler for your school.
We had a technician out yesterday to look things over. We are now monitoring it in the mornings at start-up. This will continue Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of next week. 
On Wednesday, a representative with Gulf Coast Boiler will be out to do a combustion test. We are fairly certain the boiler is running rich (too much natural gas pushing through to burn). This test will reveal possible changes needed that he will be able to make on the boiler to prevent the natural gas odor experienced."
I just wanted you to know that there is no danger to students or staff and hopefully the steps maintenance is taking will resolve the
issue.  Please call if you have any additional questions.
