Dear West Families,
We have an exciting week ahead filled with learning and school-wide activities! Please keep an eye on our calendar for upcoming events, including assemblies, class projects, and special programs. As a reminder, it’s essential that all families complete the SB 12 consent form to ensure students can receive important healthcare and counseling services while at school. These services support student well-being and success, and we want every child to have access if needed. Thank you for your continued support and partnership!
With appreciation,
Sasha Bennett

Student Badges
Student Badges
All LCISD students have been issued ID badges. The purpose of the badges is to maintain the district's high standard of safety and security and to help streamline a number of student and teacher activities. Click here for more information about student ID badges. Students will have one on their backpacks as well to help with dismissal. The first replacement badge is given to the student, but each following one will be a charge of $5.
How-to Add and Change Emergency Contacts
How-to Add and Change Emergency Contacts
If you are checking your student out, please remember that a driver’s license is required. We will take a picture each time, and if you have multiple children at West, we’ll take a picture for each. Your patience is appreciated!
If someone else is checking out your child, ensure they are on the emergency list in Skyward with permission marked "yes" to pick up your child. We cannot allow anyone to leave with your child if they aren't listed, even an older sibling. Please note, the office cannot make changes to Skyward contacts or accept verbal permission over the phone—this must be done by the parent/guardian in Skyward.
If you give your car tag to another person, you are consenting for them to pick up your child in the parent pick-up lane.
Starting in September, we will no longer accept Door Dash or other food deliveries for students, as we will be installing a buzzer system for visitors. This system may cause entry delays, and food deliveries could add to the congestion. Parents are still welcome to bring lunch for their child and dine together during their child's lunch time.
Check out the video below for a guide on how to add and change emergency contacts in Skyward. The video also explains how to add people who can check out your student(s).

The LCISD Food Services Department is looking forward to another great school year! There is some important information families need to know about school meals.
Students at New Hope Academy, East Elementary, North Elementary, and South Elementary will receive free breakfast and lunch school meals this year (with no action required) because of the Community Eligibility Provision program. Students at LCHS, Liberty HS, LBMS, LCMS, Central Elementary, and West Elementary must pay for meals or can apply for free or reduced-price meals (more information at https://www.lcisd.net/o/lcisd/page/free-and-reduced-meals). Applications and meal status are totally confidential and there is no penalty for applicants who do not qualify.
Our meal account management platform has transitioned from LunchMoneyNow to PaySchools Central. Parents must create a new PaySchools Central account in order to deposit meal funds. You can find instructions at https://www.lcisd.net/o/lcisd/page/payschools-central.
Meal prices for the 2025-26 school year can be viewed at https://www.lcisd.net/page/food-services.
If you have questions about school meals or the free and reduced-price meal application process, email dborchardt@lcisd.net!
