Cub Council had the privilege of experiencing a 3D Interactive Display of the Architectural Design of the future LVISD buildings.

Mrs. Loudenback and Mrs. Olivarez would like to thank all participants and winners of the Paint to Music contest! Third graders had an excellent time listening to the San Antonio Philharmonic concert last week.

Mrs. Henkes and Mrs. Hill’s students:

-Played a silent game of untangle the students with following directions from a Countdown to STAAR practice

Mrs. Coon and Creswell’s students had fun learning how to play Fraction Cookies with Mrs. Setzer!

Mrs. Dylla’s and Mrs. Hajek’s 4th graders have been busy exploring shadows, learning new geometry vocabulary, and creating leprechauns and towns using measurement skills.

Mrs. Zatopek & Mrs. Pruski’s classes collaboratively calculating area and perimeter and working on social studies and their Venn diagrams.

The classes of Mrs. Royal, Mrs. Reavis and Mrs. Prater learn about ecosystems by creating their own terrariums in Science class. Students have been enjoying the beautiful spring weather, and having fun in the Math class.

Students in Mrs. Prater, Mrs. Royal, and Mrs. Reavis' classes have been working hard learning research skills, trying to persuade one another with Would You Rather, and much more. So many fun activities in our POD as we finish up the year before junior high!

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!

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. Since these assessments are generally taken online, the way parents review the tests have changed. Please review the information below to learn how to access your child's assessments in Eduphoria.
