Individual Class Picture Retakes Scheduled for September 8th
Did your student miss individual pictures (senior or underclassmen) during Prep Days in July? Individual picture retakes are scheduled for Monday, September 8th.
Congratulations, Ms. Suarez and Mrs. Scull!
We’re thrilled to shine the spotlight on TWO of our incredible educators who received top honors for their outstanding work in Career & Technical Education during the 2024-2025 school year!
Aerin Schultz (Suarez) was named the CTAT Area 7 New Teacher of the Year! This prestigious award celebrates her innovative teaching, commitment to CTE, and the tremendous impact she's already made early in her career. Aerin’s creativity and passion for student success are setting the bar high!
Katie Scull earned the title of CTAT Area 7 Teacher of the Year! Her dedication, innovation in the classroom, and leadership in the CTE community have made a lasting difference. Katie’s commitment to excellence and student growth truly embodies the spirit of our Bear family!
Both were nominated by their peers from Area 7, making this recognition even more meaningful. Let’s give these educators a HUGE round of applause!
Has Your Child Returned LVHS Acceptable Use Policy and Code of Conduct?
Copies of LVHS Code of Conduct and Technology Acceptable Use Policy were sent home the week of August 18th. Please send these sigend forms back to school as soon as possible.
Notice of Consent for School Counseling
The 89th Texas Legislature recently passed Senate Bill 12, which requires school districts to notify parents of staff services related to mental health and to give parent/guardians the opportunity to opt out before mental health-related services are provided to their child.
This form must be submitted for each student. Consent given through this form is effective during the current school year unless rescinded earlier.
You must complete this form for each student enrolled in La Vernia ISD.
School counseling services are more fully explained in board policy FFEA, and student mental health is covered in board policy FFEB. Information about threat assessments can be found in board policy FFB.
Have You Returned Consent for Health Services?
Notice of and Consent for School Health-Related Services
This form must be signed and returned to LVISD Health Services. Consent given through this form is effective during the current school year unless revoked earlier.
In accordance with new law as of Sept.1, 2025, the District must provide parents with written notice of each school-based health-related service offered at the campus their child attends. These routine services promote student safety, wellness, and readiness to learn. The services may be provided by qualified school staff, including nurses and athletic trainers. This consent does not take the place of an individualized health plan, 504 plan, or other legally required document.
A parent has the right to withhold consent for or decline any health-related service.
Printed copies of this form were sent home last week. For you convenience, the forms have been linked below.

La Vernia ISD is proud to announce that our Primary, Intermediate, Junior High and High School campuses have been awarded the Purple Star Campus Designation from the Texas Education Agency (TEA).

Organizing and hosting newcomer social events, guided tours of the campus, and accompanying new students to lunch during their first week of school.
Offer at least one of the following initiatives:
A resolution showing support for military-connected students and families.
Participation in the Month of the Military Child or Military Family Month.
A partnership with a school liaison officer to provide opportunities for active-duty military members.
