Intermediate Newsletter

We're over the moon (or should we say, "over the sun"?) to announce that LVEF along with a donation from The Fred Barlow Family is sponsoring solar glasses for every LVISD student to witness the upcoming solar eclipse safely and in awe!

We committed to supporting our students' educational experiences, and what better way to learn about the wonders of the universe than by observing a solar eclipse?

Get ready to don those stylish shades and join us in celebrating this cosmic event together!

Please come join our AMAZING PTO team for the monthly meeting on Tuesday, October 3rd. They will be meeting in the cafeteria at 8:15 AM.

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!

These LVHS Volleyball girls were a huge hit during homecoming week! Thank you, ladies, for getting up early and providing face painting fun for our students! We love this wonderful HOCO tradition!

Mrs. Graham and Mrs. Garza’s 3rd grade classes:

-Practicing open ended question writing on the computer

-Reading practice

-Homecoming dress up days

-Enjoying recess

Third grade rocked it for homecoming week!

Our scientists have been working together and using their reading strategies to solve problems.

Mrs. Hajek’s and Mrs. Dylla’s classes are having fun in 4th grade! They’ve been measuring matter, playing hard at recess, gearing up for APEX, and celebrating Spirit Week!

Students in Mrs. Reavis' class have been using technology to practice math, and homecoming week fun!

Mrs. Germann's Social Studies Classes researched Explorers from the Age of Exploration. Students prepared posters and practiced public speaking skills while presenting their research.

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!

Your child’s homeroom teacher will also provide you with specific information regarding classroom and teacher communication. Parent portal access is a great tool to help you monitor your child’s grades and attendance. Once again, thank you for your partnership as we take on another great school year together!

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.
