Leon Daiches Elementary School

Hello LISD Parents and Families, As the holiday season approaches, we want to remind you how crucial school attendance is to your child’s academic success. Understandably, this time of year can be busy, but we want to urge you to remember how missed school days around the holidays can impact your child’s progress from kindergarten through high school. We know that family time is precious and essential, but it’s important to remember that extended vacations can the send the wrong message about the importance of regular attendance. So, please ensure your child is present until the winter break begins and returns to school on the scheduled dates. We greatly appreciate your support in this matter. Happy Holidays!
