We love our counselor, Mrs. Braswell!!!!
Dear Lubbock ISD families & staff,
The Texas Education Agency requires all public schools in Texas to provide at least 75,600 minutes of instruction for students each school year. Any time a school day is canceled, started late or dismissed early, the district evaluates if there is a need for makeup days to ensure we meet the instructional minutes requirement for the school year.
After considering our three recent snow days (Friday, Monday and Tuesday of this week) and our late-start on Wednesday due to weather, we found that we will not need to make any schedule changes for our elementary and middle school students to meet the requirement. However, to ensure that we complete the required number of instructional minutes for our high school students, late-start Wednesdays are canceled for the rest of the spring semester, beginning this Wednesday (Feb. 4).
With this change, we will meet the instructional minutes requirement for all students across the district. This means that we will not need to use the student holiday on March 23 or the student and staff holiday on April 6 as makeup days – for now, these will remain as holidays.
If we experience more inclement weather this spring that requires cancelations, delays or early dismissals, we will reevaluate at that time to determine if schedule changes and/or make up days are needed.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Amanda Castro-Crist in our Communications & Community Relations department at (806) 219-0014.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kathy Rollo
Superintendent, Lubbock ISD

Our automotive students and teachers hosted the Panhandle Automotive Invitational this weekend. Students from Lubbock, Frenship, and Snyder competed in a variety of contests to challenge their auto tech skills. Thank you to Mr. Salazar and Mr. Guerrero for organizing this great opportunity!
Today, students in our EMT classes had the opportunity to visit AeroCare. Mr. Henry and his students heard from pilots, EMT's, and nurses about what takes place when they receive a call and how they serve our community in emergency situations. Thank you to AeroCare for having us out!
Congratulations to our very own Brenda Olden! Mrs. Olden is now recognized as a National Board Certified Teacher. Mrs. Olden has completed a variety of tasks over the past two years to earn this distinction. Fun fact: Only 3% of teachers in Texas have completed requirements to be recognized by the National Board. AND only .03% of those teachers are involved in Career and Technical Education. We are so very proud of Mrs. Olden and greatly appreciate all she does for our school and our students!
Today, our HVAC students and teachers honored Jim and Jodi Hamlin from South Plains TACCA for their generous support of our Lubbock ISD HVAC programs. Our students were fortunate enough to participate in TACCA's "Heat the Town" event, where local contractors service ACs and heaters for elderly citizens who don't have the means. Lubbock ISD students were helpers, serving over 70 deserving homes. Thanks Jim and Jodi for making this happen! And thank you to Mr Ramsey and Mr Martinez for ordaining this opportunity for our students!
Our ATC representatives were in Austin today for SkillsUSA Legislative Day. After sessions on the legislative process, advocacy, how to prepare for a legislative visit, and parliamentary procedure, students met with their legislators at the Capitol! 🏛️ #skillsusatexas #skillsusa #skillsusatx
It's Dual Credit registration day at the ATC! Students can earn FREE college credit through many of our classes. What a great opportunity for our ATC students - regardless of their future plans! Many thanks to our dual credit partner, South Plains College!!
Interested in learning more about the classes we offer at the ATC? Join us Thursday evening!
Today, students in Mr. Henry's EMT class visited the Emergency Deparment at UMC. Students were able to see what it will be like when they do their clinical rotations in the ED, as well as what to expect when they are transporting patients in crisis. What a great learning opportunity!
Join us for our ATC Open House!
We were so excited to have 8th graders from Mackenzie and Cavazos Middle Schools at the ATC today for a tour! Many of our 8th graders remembered visiting us in 5th grade and knew exactly which classes they want to take in high school. A special shout out to our ATC Ambassadors! They did a great job leading the tours!
Mrs. Olden's ATC students participated in the 7th Annual Art Fest, sponsored by Complex Community Credit Union at LHUCA. Students were able to make prints of their digital art with the help of the laser engraver that Mr. Hust has in Building Trades. They also had an opportunity to throw on the wheel and create scanograms with Texas Tech art faculty.
SkillsUSA District 3's Fall Leadership Conference is underway! Student leaders traveled to SPC in Levelland to take part in team building and leadership activities in preparation for this year's activities and competitions.
