WEATHER UPDATE | Monday, August 31

Lamar CISD schools and facilities will be OPEN and operate on their regular schedules tomorrow, Tuesday, September 1.

District leaders participated in a regional weather briefing this afternoon. While our area may experience rain and wind, current forecasts do not indicate conditions that would warrant canceling school.

We are aware of inaccurate information circulating online, including AI-generated information stating that Lamar CISD will be closed tomorrow. That information is false.

We will continue monitoring weather conditions throughout the evening and early morning. If anything changes that impacts school operations, Lamar CISD will communicate directly with families and staff.

For accurate information about Lamar CISD, always check Lamar CISD first through ParentSquare, our District website, and official social media accounts.

is committed to providing our community with clear, factual information about matters that may affect the District and the taxpayers we serve.

Tesla has submitted an application under the Texas Jobs, Energy, Technology and Innovation (JETI) program for a proposed project located within Lamar CISD.

As the application moves through the process established by state law, the Lamar CISD Board of Trustees would like to hear directly from our community.

We invite you to review the information on the Lamar CISD website and submit your questions through the community survey August 26–28. Questions submitted will help the District identify topics that may require additional information, clarification or explanation as the application moves through the required review and consideration process.

Our Longhorn scientists put their learning into action today! After a week of learning about forces, pushes, pulls, and balanced and unbalanced forces, students took their learning beyond the classroom with a Tug of War Challenge! What better way to experience force in action than with a little friendly competition? Science + teamwork + fun = meaningful learning!
