We are so excited for tomorrow night! Wheelock families- your students will receive their free admission beat tag ribbon and basketball sticker (used to stick their ribbon on!) TODAY for tomorrow's game. They are encouraged to wear them to school and then to the games on Tuesday, February 3rd! If your student does not receive or misplaces their ribbon, they may still enter the game with a sibling with a ribbon! Adult tickets can be purchased at https://events.hometownticketing.com/boxoffice/lubbockisd/L2VtYmVkL2FsbD9zY2hvb2xzPTUy in advance for $5! See you there in your Plainsmen gear!
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
