Congratulations, La Vernia FFA!
Congratulations to Alyssa Bendele, Kaleb Krenek, Coy Hollingsworth, Kodi Angell, Chase Eckhardt, Lane Lingo, Luke Lingo, Brylee Mokry, and Kanin James for representing our program with hard work, determination, and pride at the San Antonio Ag Mech show.
Results:
Kanin James – 1st in class and Grand Champion Showmanship, Division 5
Chase Eckhardt – 3rd in class
Luke Lingo – 6th in class
Brylee Mokry – 7th in class
Coy Hollingsworth – 8th in class
Lane Lingo – 12th in class
These results are a reflection of countless hours in the shop, perseverance through challenges, and a strong commitment to doing things the right way. I could not be more proud of this group and am excited to see where this program continues to go. The future of Ag Mechanics here is bright.
It's Time for Course Selections for the 2026-2027 School Year
Counselors will be meeting with students in the upcoming weeks regarding course selections for the 2026-2027 school year. Please encourage your student to reach out to his/her counselor with any questions.
The deadline to request changes is March 19th!
Does Your Student Owe Attendance Hours?👇
We Need Your Help!
The number of students being signed out during class seems to be on an upswing lately. We know doctor/dentist appointment times are often beyond our control; however, the number of sign-outs for lunch about halfway through class prior to lunch is concerning and has come to the attention of campus administration. Please be mindful that LVHS does not have open-campus lunch, and that students' lunches can be dropped off in the office if they do not bring them themselves or if there are special dietary needs. C lunch is 1:03-1:33 on Mondays and Wednesdays, and 1:16-1:26 on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
In addition, many students are not returning back to class after lunch on time. This could result in the student being marked tardy or receiving an unexcused absence - which could lead to truancy or losing credit for his/her class.
Please join us in supporting our students being in class everyday and on time.
Help us stock the LVHS Grab & Go Closet!
We’re collecting donations of hair bands, tampons, travel size deodorant, stain remover wipes, Vaseline packets for dry lips, nail files, travel size toothpaste, and combs for students in need.
See our Amazon list for details: https://a.co/3WkYwZS
Drop off your items at the LVHS Library.
Thank you for supporting our Bears community!

We Are Still Missing Many Permission Slips!
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Legislative updates have required schools to gain consent prior to services/participation. We are missing a large amount of consent forms. Please check that you have completed the following items and returned/submitted them to LVHS:
* Student Code of Conduct and Acceptable Use Policy (printed copy was sent home)
* Consent for School Counseling (electronic submission)
* Parent Consent for School Related Health Services (printed copy was sent home)
* School club(s) permission to participate (sent home by club sponsor)
All of these forms are posted to this newsletter for your convenience. Please help us ensure your student can receive the services he/she needs.
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.
