Our Mission

The Mission of Llano Junior High is to improve the academic performance of all students.

Our Vision

Llano Junior High will empower learners and leaders to positively impact the world.

Our Core Beliefs

1. Kids come first.

2. Continuous learning is essential to success.

3. A student's success is the shared responsibility of the student, family, school & community.

4. Learning is influenced by environment.

Please refer to the Student Handbook (link below) for questions about dress code, attendance, etc.

This year, we are recognizing Daubers of the Month. Each month, we will select one boy and one girl from each grade level. All staff can nominate students who have shown an “out of the ordinary” amount of effort, character, improvement, and kindness. We are lucky to have restaurants and businesses around Llano who are donating lunches to these students. This gives us a chance to step away from campus for a minute and celebrate these kids being awesome. Our hope is that our Daubers of the Month transform into excellent LHS students, who then transition into successful, contributing adults who have learned compassion, character, and the value of hard work at Llano ISD.

6th: Grade: Dionicio Estrada & Hailey Lucas

7th: Graham Prokop & Itzel Godinez

8th: Skyler Schaeffer & Aubry Smith

This is a reminder that all medication for students must be kept in the nurse’s office. If your student is needing to take medication during the school day, the medication must be brought to the nurse’s office in the original container, and the parent must fill out a consent form. The only exception to this rule would be an asthma inhaler or EpiPen, in which the doctor and parent, both, have given written consent for the student to carry this medication at school.

Medication consent forms and rules can be found at the link below.

• Please have your driver's license or picture ID with you when you come to sign your student out of school.
• When your child is absent from school, you have 2 school days after return to send your absent notes.

Inquire to a 7th grader what SMPSP means. Ask them which systems overlap with the skeleton to “make it all happen".

ELAR - The students will continue to hone their writing skills by learning how to correctly use dialogue in their compositions. We will identify possible themes that authors use in fictional text. Please remember that the Book Fair is upon us, and the students will be visiting the library this week, so if they ask for some spending money, don't be alarmed!

Texas History - This week in Texas History, students will identify the establishment of Catholic missions, towns, and ranches by writing an expository text, creating a blueprint of the mission or town, and creating a 3d model.
