LISD to use inclement weather day

Due to LISD's decision to close schools on Jan. 17 because of inclement weather, it will be necessary for students to make up the day on Thursday, May 24. This day was previously set aside on the 2006-07 LISD Calendar for this purpose. On that day, students will be released at the following times: high schools, 12 p.m.; middle schools, 12:30 p.m.; elementary schools, 1:30 p.m.

CISNT in need of mentors

Communities In Schools of North Texas has identified numerous students in LISD who are in immediate need of a school-based mentor. CISNT mentors spend 30-60 minutes a week with their students in face-to-face visits at the students' schools. These mentors assist their students with academic help; and they spend time getting to know students to provide a safe and healthy supportive relationship. CISNT mentors are crucial to their students' success. In addition to mentoring a student at school during the school day or in after-school programs, CISNT mentors can meet with their student during the CISNT Saturday Connections program. Individuals who are interested in volunteering to serve as a CISNT mentor should contact CISNT at 972-436-6377 or visit the CISNT website, www.cisnt.org, to complete a volunteer application online.
