We’re excited to share that Whiteside Elementary has earned a place on the Educational Results Partnership Texas Honor Roll, recognizing top-performing schools and districts across the state for outstanding student achievement and best practices that drive results.
Even more exciting, we are one of only 10 schools in Lubbock County to receive this honor! This recognition reflects the hard work of our students, the dedication of our staff, and the support of our amazing families and community. Way to go, Warriors!

🎉 Happy National School Counseling Week! 🎉 Let's give a huge shoutout to Mrs. Allen for her incredible dedication to the students, families, and staff at Whiteside.

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
