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

Lubbock ISD Families: Classes have been canceled tomorrow, Friday, Jan. 23. All schools and administrative offices will be closed and district employees will have a planning day working from home.
We're almost at the end of National Principals Month! Here's what executive principal Jack Purkeypile had to say about the principals in the Monterey feeder pattern:
"I had the honor of serving as Monterey's principal before moving into my current role, so I know just how special this feeder pattern is and the level of dedication each of our principals demonstrate on a daily basis. They show up committed to leading and inspiring their staff and every student who calls these campuses their educational home.
I want to thank my fellow principals for their incredible service to our district, our community and the future they are helping build through their support of our students. Happy National Principals Month!" #WeAreLubbockISD
