Cavaliers, we’re gearing up for upcoming benchmarks and looking ahead to the STAAR test in April — and Saturday School is a great opportunity to get ahead!
This is a focused time for students to:
✔️ Strengthen key skills
✔️ Review important concepts
✔️ Build confidence before testing
✔️ Ask questions and get extra support
We are committed to ensuring that Every Cavalier Counts, Every Cavalier Achieves, and this is one more way we support our students in reaching their goals.
🥞 Breakfast and snacks will be provided to help fuel their learning!
Let’s use this time to prepare, grow, and continue choosing progress over perfection. 💙
Today, we proudly recognize two incredible educators who represent the heart of Cavazos!
🎨 Teacher of the Year – Ms. Catherine Argueta
Ms. Argueta, our amazing Art teacher, creates a space where creativity, confidence, and connection flourish. Her classroom is more than an art room—it is a safe, welcoming environment where students feel valued and inspired. She is always the first to say “yes” when students need extra academic support and works collaboratively with staff to ensure every Cavalier is successful. Her passion and servant leadership make a lasting impact on our campus each and every day.
👏 Paraprofessional of the Year – Ms. Alyssa Ybarra
Ms. Ybarra truly does it all! She steps in anytime and anywhere she is needed, always with a positive attitude and a heart for students. Her flexibility, dedication, and unwavering support help keep our campus running smoothly. She goes above and beyond to ensure students are supported both academically and emotionally.
Please join us in congratulating Ms. Argueta and Ms. Ybarra for this well-deserved recognition! 💙
We are grateful to have such outstanding leaders serving our Cavaliers.

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
