Please report all student absences, including early outs/late arrivals in Skyward Family Access via an attendance request if your child is going to miss school. This can be done in the app or on a computer. When submitting an Early Out or Late Arrival absence request, please be sure to UNSELECT the 'all day check mark'. This ensures the attendance office knows what time your child will be leaving and/or arriving. Campus attendance email is for submitting documentation, such as a doctor's note. If you have any questions, please contact Norma Placencia at nplacencia@lcisd.net or call the front office.

The link below will demonstrate the clicks needed to submit an absence or late arrival:

Additionally, the campus must receive documentation, such as a doctor's note, verifying your child’s absence within two (2) school days of a student’s return. To ensure efficient communication, we encourage all documentation to be emailed to lbmsattendance@lcisd.net email; however, a faxed or paper copy is acceptable.

Students may participate each day if they wish. Monday-Thursday are free of charge.

****Students will be allowed to wear Halloween costumes on October 30th. The cost to participate is $5. Halloween costumes that are worn at school MUST be approved by campus administration. The approval process will be during lunches this week. Additionally, students cannot change costumes after the approval process without prior permission. Anything deemed inappropriate for the school setting will be denied. Costumes cannot depict violence, represent anything related to drugs/alcohol, or involve anything else that may be indecent or insensitive. Please help your child choose wisely if they are going to participate.****
