Students and Families-
Mr. Sealy and the Directors have reviewed the calendar options for next year against the fall marching schedule and competition needs.
*Please vote before the deadline tomorrow so that the Band preferences may be heard and registered for the next calendar year!
Our best choice options will be (in this order):
1-Option B
2-Option C
3-Option A
It does not take long to finish the survey.
Review the options and submit your input at LISD.net/calendarsurvey by Nov. 30.
The options for the 2024-25 Academic Calendar are now available for review and input.
This year, each campus had a representative on the staff calendar input group that shared feedback to help create the different options that meet state requirements.
There are three options to consider, with major differences centered around the first and last day of school.
