Integrity: doing the right thing, even when no one is looking


How can adults help teach “integrity” to kids?

  1. Model the behavior! Demonstrating respect for others who have different points of view, as well as resolving conflict peacefully shows children what integrity looks like.,

  2. Talk openly about moral values. Morals are connected to rules and laws, but they should also be connected to family and cultural beliefs.

  3. Give children a chance to serve others and volunteer. Serving and volunteering offer opportunities to show kindness, compassion, and honesty. 

  4. Discuss right from wrong, and reward good behavior. Making good choices, even when it is difficult. is the foundation of quality character.

  5. Find examples of inspirational characters. Watch movies and read books that describe real or fictional characters who are examples of integrity.



Transportation Changes

Keeping consistent afternoon dismissal will support your child in feeling safe and confident at the end of each day. If it is necessary to request a transportation change, please visit our district transportation siteAll changes must be made by email before 1pm on the day of the change. This is an LHISD policy. Any transportation change requests after 1:00pm will not be honored. Any emails sent to campus personnel requesting a transportation change will not be accepted.

Parents will get a confirmation email for transportation changes, but please be mindful that it might take time. If they don’t hear back from our receptionist by 1pm, you may call the campus to confirm it was received.

Early pickup cut-off time is 2:40. If you wish to pick up your child early, you must park in the parking lot and come into the building with a valid ID to check your child out with the receptionist.

Need to know a bus route number, time or location. Infofinder has the answers you need!

A few reminders regarding attendance:


  • Excused Absences: Excused absences are not viewed as days a student is entitled to take. Excused absences include, but are not limited to personal illness, doctor/medical absence, funeral/memorial, DPS, or weather or road conditions that make travel dangerous per LHISD notification. Students are required to attend at least 90 percent of the school year.

  • Unexcused Absences: An unexcused absence is any absence that does not meet the definition of an excused absence (examples: personal business, vacation, club sports/travel, traffic, car trouble, driving school, etc.).

PLEASE ALLOW AT LEAST 3-5 BUSINESS DAYS FOR THE ATTENDANCE OFFICE TO ENTER NOTES
