Welcome Lamar CISD Families

We are excited to welcome you to the 2025-2026 school year. Our school district takes pride in fostering strong community partnerships, which are essential for our students' success. Lamar CISD is one of the fastest-growing school districts in Texas, and we look forward to creating an inclusive classroom experience that values accountability, big thinking, compassion, excellence, integrity, and joy for every student in the upcoming school year.

 

New Update on Personal Communication Devices

During the 89th Texas Legislative Session, House Bill 1481 was passed, prohibiting students from using personal communication devices during the school day and on school property. This change includes cell phones, smartwatches, tablets, radios, and similar devices. The law applies to all Texas public and open-enrollment charter schools, including Lamar CISD. Exceptions are made for students with documented medical needs or special education accommodations. For details on implementation at Lamar CISD, view the tab below. 

  • What This Means for Lamar CISD Students (PK–12) 

    Beginning with the 2025–2026 school year, Lamar CISD will implement the following practices in accordance with the new law: 

    • All personal electronic devices, including cell phones and smartwatches, must be turned off before entering campus. 

    • Devices must be stored in backpacks or lockers—not on the student’s person (e.g., clothing pockets)—and must remain powered off and completely out of view throughout the school day. 

    • Use or visible possession of any personal communication device during the school day will result in confiscation and disciplinary consequences. 

     

    This includes all areas inside the school building such as: 

    • Classrooms 

    • Libraries 

    • Cafeterias 

    • Hallways 

    • Restrooms 

    • Locker rooms 

    • Any other common spaces 

    Devices may be turned back on only after the final bell at dismissal, at which time students may use them to communicate with parents or guardians regarding transportation or other after-school needs. 

     

    Dismissal Times by Grade Level 

    • Elementary A: 2:40 PM (7:15 AM – 2:40 PM) 

    • Elementary B: 3:10 PM (7:45 AM – 3:10 PM) 

    • Middle School / Junior High: 4:30 PM (9:05 AM – 4:30 PM) 

    • High School: 3:50 PM (8:25 AM – 3:50 PM) 

     

    Please note: Receiving a call or text from a parent or family member during class is not an acceptable reason for device use. If you need to reach your child during the school day, please call the school’s front office, and we will ensure your message is delivered. 

     

    If a student needs to make an emergency call during the day, they should report to the front office.
