From the Desk of:
To the Patrons of Littlefield ISD: I trust you are ready for another successful school year! It is hard to believe that our students will be returning to class on Monday, August 14. LISD is looking forward to having our students back in the classroom as we begin the 2023- 2024 school year. I encourage you to follow what is going on at LISD through our school website: www.lfdisd.org You will have up- to- date activities for each week along with information regarding the school’s business and financial data. Please take time to utilize this opportunity to learn more about your school.
We had a great convocation ( Teachers and Staff back to school meeting) on Monday, August 7 at the JH auditorium. It was great to see everyone back in the saddle as we prepare for day one of the new school year. We are very fortunate to have such a dedicated group of teachers and staff members who truly care about your students and their education. I encourage you to see when your child( ren) have activities at school and make every effort to be in attendance. This will provide you an opportunity to meet your child( ren)’s teacher and learn what their expectations for the school year will be for your child(ren).
As we begin the new school year, I would like to remind each of you about “ school zone safety.” We all must take precautions in and around school zones, and children must learn how to be safe getting to school, too. Here are a few tips for drivers: Stay alert, Watch for children who may run between vehicles, Be mindful of children at bus stops, Avoid being on your cellphone, Slow down, Obey school zone speed limit signs and all traffic rules, and Drop off and pick up children in the designated areas. Thank you in advance for “watching out” for our students as we begin the school year.
