Dear Parent/Guardian,

The 89th Texas Legislature recently passed Senate Bill 12, which requires school districts to notify parents and guardians of staff services related to mental health. This law also provides parents/guardians the opportunity to opt out before any mental health-related services are provided to their child.

To comply with this requirement, La Vernia ISD is providing families with the Notice of Consent for School Counseling form.

This form must be completed online using the link provided below

Consent given through this form is effective for the current school year unless rescinded earlier.

A separate form must be completed for each student enrolled in La Vernia ISD.

Please use the following link to complete and submit the form:
👉 Notice of Consent for School Counseling Form

Your partnership is essential as we work to provide safe, supportive, and effective services for every student in La Vernia ISD. Thank you for your prompt attention to this important matter and for your continued support of our schools.

If you have any questions about this notice or the services provided, please reach out to your child’s campus counselor.

Sincerely,
La Vernia ISD

To ensure your child receives the care they need at school, please complete and return the Health-Related Services Consent Form ASAP!

📄 Texas law (SB 12) now requires written parental consent before school staff can provide any health-related services.

❗Without this consent, we cannot:

-Evaluate illness or injury
-Administer first aid
-Monitor chronic or acute conditions
-Coordinate health services
-Conduct state-required screenings (vision, hearing, scoliosis, etc.)

📬 Forms were sent home with students—check those backpacks! 🏫✏️

✅ Sign and return the form immediately to avoid delays in care.

Have questions❔ Reach out to our Health Services Coordinator, Alysha Evans, at aevans2@lvisd.org —we’re here to help! 💙🐻

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Please take a few moments to read the attached letter regarding recent updates to state laws (HB 900 and SB 13) that impact school library materials. The letter outlines how La Vernia ISD is implementing these requirements and provides important information on parental permissions and student access to library resources.

Thank you for your attention and partnership as we work together to support our students.

Sincerely,
LVISD Communications

🐻💙 We’re gearing up for something big — the Voter-Approval Tax Rate Election (VATRE). This election allows voters to decide on a measure that could generate additional funding for competitive pay and ongoing maintenance expenses — without adding new debt.

✅ Local dollars stay local
✅ Supports day-to-day operations
✅ Helps us offer more competitive pay compared to surrounding districts
