Dear Parents and Guardians of Lockney ISD,
We are writing to make you aware of a situation that the school administration and Floyd
County Sheriff’s Department have been investigating. Today, after lunch, our school became
aware of a potential threat that was voiced among a group of students that created concern
among our school community.
We take all threats very seriously. Our admin team, in conjunction with the Sheriff’s office,
immediately investigated the matter. This investigation is ongoing, but we feel there is no
credible threat to our campuses currently. We are continuing to monitor the situation closely.
Please speak to your children about the seriousness of making threats, even as a joke, and
the significant legal and disciplinary consequences that can result. We also encourage you to
monitor your child’s online activity.
We are grateful to the students that came forward to report this information. Our shared goal
is to keep all students and staff safe. Please remember that if you see or hear something, say
something.
Sincerely,
Steve Reynolds

Sorry - the message mistakenly said Wednesday next week. The flyer is correct. It's Tuesday from 6:30-8:00.
We want to invite everyone who has a child in junior high or high school (or even if you are interested in what's going on) to come next Wednesday.
Good morning, Lockney High School family! The school year has gotten off to a great start. Please review attendance expectations with your student. If a student comes in after the 7:40 bell, this will be counted as a tardy. Should a student receive over three tardies, they will serve lunch detention for each one until the six weeks are over, then it resets.
Please understand that attendance is vital for student success and our mandate, given to us by the state, is to ensure that students attend 90% of their classes. Because we are a 4-day per week school district, this means that students can only be absent 14 days for the entire year. This includes all excused absences for medical purposes but does not include absences for school sponsored activities such as field trips or games. This is for each period. So if a student leaves in the afternoon, they will be considered absent for the classes they missed and it will be counted against them for that class. For example, if a student only has 12 absences for period 4 but has 18 for period 9, then they are in violation of the state attendance policy.
Students will get sick. Please make sure you do not use absences for unnecessary reasons, because when they are sick these absences become part of their 14 allowed. A general rule of thumb is that a student can only miss a single class every two weeks.
For our exact attendance policy, please see our student handbook and student code of conduct which is on our website.

LISD Family,
I need to brag on my kids and my team a little. Last year, our campus worked so hard at focusing on student growth with the idea of "band jumping". In other words, our goal for all students was to improve their score from the previous year. For example, if a student received an "approaches" our goal was to get them to "meets". This is not easy - it means that students have to grow at least 10%. We had 60% of our 8th graders, 27% of our 7th graders, and 47% of our 6th graders meet this criteria. This is just a phenomenal showing and our kids and teachers and paras need to be congratulated. We went from an F-Graded campus 3 years in a row to an astounding B-Campus in just a single year.
Our campus received the distinction award for academic growth and will be recognized by region 17 in September. Good things are happening at our Lockney Junior High campus. If you see a teacher - congratulate them on a job well done because they deserve it!
Warm Regards,
Dewayne Jones
Principal
