Dear Parents and Students,

On behalf of the Lackland ISD Board of Trustees and all our Lackland ISD staff, we want to welcome you to the 2025-2026 school year! A special welcome to all of our new parents and students and welcome back to our returning families. We are starting our 71st year as a Texas public school district and we are glad to start it with you!

I hope you had a wonderful summer and that you and your children are looking forward to the new school year as much as we are. We are excited to have all our students back in school and look forward to a great school year. We welcome your presence on our campuses and hope that you will get involved in as many parent and student activities as your schedule will permit. We look forward to working with you and your children.

Sincerely,

Dr. Burnie L. Roper

ParentSquare

Lackland ISD continues to strive toward improving communication.

ParentSquare is a communication platform. Through the platform, you’ll be able to:

*Receive all district, school, and classroom communication via email, text, or app

*View the school and classroom calendar and RSVP for events

*Easily sign up to volunteer and/or bring items

*Securely receive important documents like report cards and other student documents

For the best ParentSquare experience, we recommend that you download and install the app. The name is ParentSquare, and it can easily be found in your device’s app store. If you don’t have a device, no need to worry: the platform is capable of both text and email, and you can log on via the web as well. ParentSquare receives its contact information from the Ascender Parent Portal. Please take a moment to make sure that you have the latest contact information on file there.

Parent Square Notifications

Under General Announcements, you can select how often you want to receive notifications for posts. Select Off, Instant or Digest notifications.

Off:no notifications about posts will be sent to you. Emergency Alerts and Notices will still be sent. School Alerts will still be sent if turned on.

Instant:you'll receive an email and/or text and/or an app notification every time a notice or message is sent.

Digest:you'll receive an email and/or text and/or an app notification once a day in the evening with all posts from that day.

The default setting is typically Digest, so that you receive all notices and post messages in one convenient notification once a day. All emergency notifications still come through instantly, and a school can override settings as needed for an urgent message.

creating new questions requires synthesis,

This encourages higher-level thinking and

emphasizes the importance of collaboration
