Dear Parents,
Please see the information below regarding the COVID-19 report card information guide.
LVHS Administration Team
COVID-19 Report Card Information Guide
● Grade Designations: Report cards will reflect a Pass (P) or Incomplete (I) designation for the 4th nine weeks grading period, semester average, and final grade. Pass (P) or Incomplete (I) designations are based upon the teacher’s evaluation of the student's completion of quality work assigned during the 4th nine weeks grading period.
● Make Up Work: Students earning an Incomplete (I) designation may contact their teacher(s) to determine make up work criteria and procedures. Make up work must be completed before the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year.
● GPA Calculation: Seniors were ranked at the end of the third quarter and prior to the district’s closure due to COVID-19 precautions. Per La Vernia ISD Board of Trustees policy, this will be the final GPA calculation and ranking for the 2019-2020 school year. The 4th nine weeks grading period of Spring 2020 will not be included in GPA calculations for current 9th, 10th, or 11th Grade students. -

Dear Parents and Students,
For all of us, the safety and security of our children is of the utmost importance. In order to maintain a safe environment for our children to study and learn, it is necessary that we practice our emergency and crisis response plans by having drills designed to exercise our procedures.
As part of emergency response plans, we have implemented the ALICE Protocol in the event of an active shooter. As such, we will be conducting an ALICE DRILL on Tuesday, December 17, 2019. In preparation for the drill LVHS has:
- Provided online training modules as well as live training scenarios for administrators, teachers and staff.
- Provided advisory educate and practice with our students on what to do during ALICE drills.
ALICE is a federally endorsed safety protocol. The letters ALICE stand for: Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter and Evacuate.
During ALICE training, staff and students are trained in different options for responding to a school intruder who is intent on doing harm. In certain circumstances, the “lock the door and hide” strategy might be appropriate. In some cases, the teacher and students might take precautions to barricade the entrance(s) of the classroom. Under certain conditions, it might be the best decision for the teacher and students to flee the building. The goal of ALICE training is to provide proactive research based options for responding to critical incidents. Please remember that these safety practice drills are done to help maintain our schools as a safe place to learn and work.
Finally, take time with your child to have the conversation concerning the ALICE drill. If you have any questions, contact La Vernia High School at 830 779-6630.
Thank you,
La Vernia High School Administration
