LISD Angel Tree – Spreading Holiday Cheer
The LISD Angel Tree program is now open! This heartwarming district tradition helps ensure that every child in our community experiences the joy of the holiday season. Families in need can register their children to receive gifts, and community members can sign up to “adopt” an angel and make a difference for a local student.
If your family could use assistance this holiday season, or if you’d like to help fulfill a child’s wish list, please visit the LISD Angel Tree website to learn more and get involved:

Together, we can make the season brighter for every Wildcat!

Post-it Note "Darts"
Families, please take a moment to speak with your student about a recent TikTok trend involving “Post-It darts.” These are made by wrapping Post-It notes around staples or other small objects and throwing them—often into ceiling tiles or at walls. This behavior is not only causing damage to our building, but it is also very dangerous. A flying staple could easily cause an eye injury or harm another student.
Students found making or throwing these darts will receive disciplinary consequences. We appreciate your help reinforcing that safety and respect for our school environment are always our top priorities.
Unexcused Absences and Truancy
We appreciate your partnership in helping our Wildcats succeed every day! Regular school attendance is one of the most important factors in academic success. As a reminder, students are allowed up to 5 unexcused absences or parent notes per school year.
Once a student reaches 4 unexcused absences, an Attendance Improvement Plan will be created to support consistent attendance and address any barriers that may be impacting your child’s ability to attend school regularly. Continued unexcused absences can result in truancy being filed, as required by state law.
Our goal is to work together with families to ensure every student is present, engaged, and on track. If your family is facing challenges that make attendance difficult, please reach out to us—we’re here to help!
Thank you for your continued support in making daily attendance a priority.
Tardy Information
This is a friendly reminder about our school’s tardy expectations. Students who are tardy to 3rd period or who receive three tardies to any period in a semester will be assigned lunch detention. Continued tardies may lead to additional consequences as outlined in our campus discipline plan.
Being on time to class helps students start the day focused and ready to learn. Please take a moment to remind your child about the importance of getting to each class on time and being prepared for instruction.
