Lubbock ISD runs an open referral window for Gifted and Talented Identification. Parents, teachers, and/or community members can refer students for identification. The window to refer students in grades 1-12 is now open. All referred students must undergo the complete GT assessment process. ***Kindergarten will not test until the spring semester.***

Additionally, ALL students in grade 2 will take the GNAT universal screener to measure reasoning abilities in order to find students potentially requiring gifted/talented services.

Click the link below to access the GT portion of the LISD website, which includes a referral form and resources for parents of gifted children.

Our Miller Owls have spent the first days of school learning and reviewing our WISE Expectations. We teach students about what it looks like and sounds like to be WISE in all areas of school including the classrooms, the hallways, and the cafeteria. Students who are seen demonstrating WISE expectations earn "badge signs," WISE tickets, and Hoot Yeah calls home! When a student fills up his/her WISE badge, they get to visit the WISE Prize Cart. The WISE Prize Cart is open every two weeks! Ask your Owl if they can tell you what it means to be WISE! 🦉🦉🦉

When your child is going to be absent from school, please call the front office at (806) 219-8100 to let us know. If you take your child to a doctor's appointment, please provide us with a doctor's note at your earliest convenience. Thank you!

Lubbock ISD Attendance Policies & Procedures

We strive to make our arrival and dismissal process as smooth as possible so we can keep our 670 Miller Owls safe! Please keep the following in mind:

• Please stay off your cell phones! Cell phone use is ALWAYS illegal in a school zone!
• The drive-thru lane is for drop-off ONLY. Please do not exit your vehicle during arrival or dismissal.
• Please SLOW DOWN and respect our crosswalk volunteers!
• Join our OWL GUARD to help with the crosswalks during arrival! This is a wonderful way to help keep our Miller Owls safe and it takes less than 30 minutes of your day!
