Latexo ISD Parents and Guardians,

As we approach the weekend, Latexo ISD is actively monitoring weather conditions that could potentially impact school operations in the coming days. If a school delay or closure becomes necessary, official communication will be provided through the following channels:

• KIVY Radio

• Text messages, phone calls and/or emails through our school notification system.

**PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION IS UP TO DATE WITH THE SCHOOL OFFICE BEFORE THE END OF THE DAY TODAY**

• The Latexo ISD website and mobile app, which will always reflect the most up-to-date and official information

• The Latexo ISD Facebook page

At this time, no other action is required. We encourage all families to remain weather aware throughout the weekend and to continue monitoring official district communications for updates.

The safety of our students and staff remains our highest priority, and any decisions regarding school operations will be made with that priority in mind.
Thank you for your continued support of Latexo ISD.

Sincerely,
Latexo Independent School District

🐯 Tigers Read the Room 🐯 At Latexo HS/JRH, we are focusing on social awareness—the ability to notice, listen, think, and respond with respect. This week, our Tigers are practicing simple but powerful habits: • Tuesday: Notice and listen before reacting • Wednesday: Think before speaking • Thursday: Respond with respect Strong leaders don’t just lead with words—they lead with awareness, empathy, and character. 💚🖤 “Strong leaders pay attention to people, not just themselves.” Leaders in Learning. Champions in Character. — Blake Thornton, 6–12 Principal #TigerPride #CharacterCounts #SocialAwareness #ReadTheRoom #ExcellenceIsTheTigerWay
