Stay Connected with ParentLink!

Lago Vista ISD uses the ParentLink communication system to assist in alerting parents, families, and employees of important information, such as school closures. ParentLink communicates via telephone, SMS text message, email and push notifications from the ParentLink app.  Be sure to add a filter to your inbox so that emails containing the word “Blackboard” are not delivered to Spam.

Inclement Weather Procedures

Texas weather is unpredictable and can change rapidly.  If school is cancelled or the start of the school day is delayed, the District will call, text, and email the families of all students using the ParentLink notification system.  Updates on school closures will also available on the LVISD Website and on the District's Facebook account. The news media will be notified of school closures as soon as the decision is made.

At the beginning of the year, you will be asked to fill out an information sheet on how your child should go home in case of an emergency dismissal during the school day. Please notify the school of any changes in how you want your child to go home or any change in emergency contact information as soon as possible.  It is important that phone numbers are kept up-to-date in the school's database so that these calls can accurately reach parents. If there is a change to your phone number, please contact the front office of your student's school and report these changes as soon as they are known.  Please note, if there are no changes to the regular school day, the District does not send out emails or other forms of communication.

Road closures can be verified by calling Travis County Road Closure Hotline at (512) 854-4500.

Yearbook

Each campus in Lago Vista ISD may choose to produce an annual yearbook. At the middle school and high school, students are given the opportunity to plan and produce the yearbook while exploring the world of print and visual media. They will become familiar with photography, page layouts, design, and the editing process. Additionally, students will learn about what it means to build a respectful, responsible, and safe school community through discussion and project based learning opportunities.  At the elementary campus, the Lago Vista Elementary School Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) gathers and produces the yearbook.
