Parents, please make sure your child is bringing a water bottle to school each day!
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.
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).
Dear Families,
As part of our ongoing efforts to improve security, we need your help during one of the most critical times of our day—dismissal. To ensure a safe and smooth process, please be aware of the following important times:
2:00 PM – Change of Dismissal Closes:
From 7:15 AM to 2:00 PM, any changes to your child's regular dismissal can be made by contacting the West office. You can do this via phone or email using the contact information listed in Skyward.
3:00 PM – Early Sign-Outs End:
Parents/guardians can sign their child out for early dismissal until 3:00 PM. After this time, students will need to follow their regular dismissal routine. Parents are welcome to wait in the office until 3:30 PM when dismissal ends to sign their child out in the office.
These deadlines help our office and teaching staff focus on ensuring all students are safely transitioned to the correct dismissal location and supervised while buses, daycare vans, and vehicles are loaded.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in keeping our school safe!
Our teachers are wonderful. Each month we celebrate a staff member of the month. If you would like to nominate a West staff member,
Here is a link to do so. Your words of affirmation and encouragement mean so much to them.
Is there a West teacher you or your student thinks goes above and beyond? If so, nominate them for the Mrs. Baird’s “Teacher on the Rise” award. Winning teachers receive great prizes, and the students who nominate them will also receive a $50 gift card. Parents, guardians, and students can nominate a teacher. To access the nomination form click here. Each month a teacher will be selected across the south plains.
Congratulations to our recent winner Mrs. Means!
