Intermediate Newsletter

Intermediate art students participated in Chalk It Up, San Antonio virtually through Artpace and TeamWorks to collaboratively complete our original chalk mural representing this year's theme Dream Big! The dream we all share for the future of our community is for everyone to have food so they can be healthy, happy, and safe. The title of our work is Panza Llena, Corazon Contento in celebration of Hispanic Heritage. Full belly, happy heart.

We are so proud of you!

We are thrilled to share the results of our PTO APEX fundraiser! Thank you to all who contributed to this campaign!

La Vernia Intermediate offers several before school and after school clubs. Students have received information during campus announcements regarding signing up for clubs, where to find applications, and reminders to turn in applications. More clubs/UIL information will come out as it becomes available. We appreciate our teachers and staff volunteering their time to enrich our students!

Homework lunch bunch, science labs, Reading Cafe, and more APEX fun with Mrs. Ransleben and Mrs. Secrest’s classes!

Mrs. Creswell and Mrs. Coon's classes doing fun book Thursday - reading around the room! They also worked on their fancy figurative language writing with onomatopoeia. They channeled their inner super hero to create a comic.

Mrs. Stanush's and Mrs. McDougald's classes had great fun on the field trip to the Red Barn in Seguin. Students have also enjoyed learning and using science tools!

Mrs. Soto and Mrs. Englke’s classes enjoyed the day at the Big Red Barn. Mrs. Soto’s class dreams of a Drug Free Life during Red Ribbon Week!

To celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, the students in Mrs. Boruff's class learned about "Alebrijes" through different genres. At the end, they created their own Alebrije, and wrote a story about their pet turning in to an Alebrije.

Hands on fun happening in Mrs. Germann's Science classes through our electrical circuits lab and roller coaster mania lab!

Please don't discard your CarRider Pro car tag! Your family tag will work next year for returning students or incoming third graders with siblings already attending LV Intermediate.

If you lose your initial family tag issued in 2022-2023, you will need to purchase an additional tag for $5 for the 2023-2024 school year.

Incoming third graders with no siblings at the Intermediate and "new to LV" students will receive their first car tag at no charge.

All PTO meetings are held at 8:15. Please join our fabulous group of volunteers who make a HUGE contribution to our campus. We look forward to another amazing year!

If you have questions, concerns, etc., regarding your child's class, we encourage you to contact the classroom teacher first to conference. If there are unresolved concerns, please contact administration or campus counselor. Thank you!

Assessments have begun for students to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of the TEKS presented in class.
