*ATTENTION PARENTS OF INCOMING 7TH GRADERS*
All incoming 7th graders must have a Tetanus (Tdap) booster and their first dose of Meningococcal (MCV4) before school begins in the fall. It is against state law for students to start school without their needed vaccines. Some students may have already had these vaccines, however, the school does not have record of this unless you have sent us an UPDATED copy. Please do not wait until the last minute to get this done as supplies will run low with a high demand for these vaccines for our students and those in surrounding local communities. PLEASE provide a copy of your child's updated shot record verifying these vaccines to the elementary or JH office ASAP.
Thank you!
Good Afternoon Everyone,
Every semester we conduct surveys to gain feedback in order to help us improve programming. These surveys are grant required. Attached are the links for Student and Parent surveys. It is really important for these to filled out. Thank you all in advance for the feedback.

Parents/Guardians, There are two things we would like to ask of you: The first is we would like some feedback from you on next years instructional calendar (please read more information on the page) https://www.lockneyisd.net/page/instructional-calendar-survey The second, is we need for you to please fill out our online registration for each of your students who intend to attend LISD next fall (2021-2022 school year). Online registration will close April 23rd. https://www.lockneyisd.net/page/online-registration-for-2021-2022 Both of these pages are located on our website under the parents tab as well. Thank you and have a great week!
TESTING ISSUES:
LISD, like other districts in the state, lost connectivity with the host of the STAAR Test today. This was not a local issue. This was a failure in the platform that supports testing across the state. We hate this for our students, teachers, and parents. Our students who were able to test on a tried and true "paper test" were able to complete their exams after a delayed start. Our students who were "electronic test" only or who had already begun an electronic test when we lost connectivity were not able to complete their exams today. As of now, ETS has not solved the connectivity issues. Should they do so before tomorrow, our students who were scheduled for electronic tests will resume their testing. If ETS does not resolve their issues, we will await direction from TEA on resuming the exams.
Again, we are sorry that this is happening. We will do our best when we are able to resume testing.
Test Summary for Tuesday, April 6th
Most 4th Graders completed a paper test. Several will take the electronic version if it becomes available tomorrow.
No 7th Grader was able to complete the test. All will resume electronically if it becomes available tomorrow. If directed by TEA, the 7th Graders will move to a paper test.
Most English I exams were completed on paper. Several will take the electronic version if it becomes available tomorrow.
Regional Qualifiers for Track -Congratulations to theses kids for all thier hard work and advancing to the next level.

Should Lockney ISD be required to cancel in-person classes due to inclement weather on Monday, January 11, the district will transition to an asynchronous learning plan during the closure. This will prevent students from having to make up a pre-scheduled weather holiday.
An asynchronous learning plan means that students MUST participate in online/prepared learning activities by:
checking in to their learning management system (Google Classroom) to access assignments;
having contact with their teacher via online portals; or
submitting completed assignments.
In anticipation of this possibility, elementary students will have learning activities sent home to be done on Monday (IF NEEDED). If a student is absent today and therefore does not receive their assignment for Monday, they student/parent may reach out to their teacher by email or dojo to receive it.
Secondary students should already have all devices and equipment which travels back and forth between home and school.
If cancellation becomes necessary, students must bring all materials back to school when in-person classes resume.
In the event in-person classes are canceled, student participation is expected in order for students to avoid being counted absent.
If inclement weather calls for a delay rather than a cancellation, in-person classes will proceed on a late-start schedule.
Decisions in regard to delay or cancellation will be made as early as possible with the hopes of minimizing disruption to student and family schedules. School administrators consider all available information prior to making a decision.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation; please stay safe and warm!
