Alert

In a growing school system, the district’s attendance zones will inevitably change to accommodate the growth. As a hypergrowth district, we are experiencing significant enrollment increases in some areas. As a result, some schools are over capacity while others have available capacity. The Board may consider leveling plans to balance student enrollment across campuses and alleviate overcrowding.   The district’s process is to collect feedback from community stakeholders regarding attendance boundary options. We specifically look to include parents from the potentially impacted campuses/areas. 

We appreciate everyone who provided input during the attendance boundary committee meetings and the leveling process.

The Lamar CISD Board of Trustees has approved new attendance zones that will impact Austin, Frost, Jackson, Long, Pink, Smith, and Travis Elementary Schools, which will go into effect for the 2024-2025 school year.

⤓ Board Approved Attendance Zones

En un sistema escolar en crecimiento, las zonas de asistencia del distrito cambiarán inevitablemente para adaptarse a este aumento. Como distrito de hipercrecimiento, estamos experimentando aumentos significativos de inscripciones en algunas zonas. Como resultado, algunas escuelas se encuentran por encima de su capacidad mientras que otras tienen capacidad disponible. La Mesa Directiva podría contemplar planes de nivelación para equilibrar las inscripciones de estudiantes en todos los campus y reducir la superpoblación.   El proceso del distrito consiste en recabar opiniones de las partes interesadas en la comunidad en relación a las opciones respecto a los límites de asistencia. Específicamente buscamos incluir a los padres de los campus/áreas que potencialmente se vean afectados. 

Agradecemos a todos los que dieron su opinión durante las reuniones del comité de límites de asistencia y el proceso de nivelación.

La Mesa Directiva de Lamar CISD ha aprobado nuevas zonas de asistencia que afectarán a las escuelas primarias Austin, Frost, Jackson, Long, Pink, Smith y Travis, que entrarán en vigor para el ciclo escolar 2024-2025.

Mental Health Apps/Diferentes Aplicaciones -

There are two mental health app directories users can consult to find a mental health app, namely the NHS Apps Library and PsyberGuide in partnership with Anxiety and Depression Association of America. The NHS Apps Library lists apps that have been “approved” following assessment using a number of criteria including effectiveness, security and technical stability. PsyberGuide includes ratings based on “credibility, user experience and expert review,” and a credibility score that “represents the strength of the scientific research support for the app itself, and the therapeutic interventions the app provides.” 

A few anxiety and stress apps with a credibility score of four out of five or higher include This Way Up, Brain HQ, Headspace, Woebot, Good Days Ahead, CogniFit, Calm, Mood Mission and Sanvello. PTSD Coach from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs also has good quality evidence to support its effectiveness. 

According to Dr. John Torous, who leads the APA’s workgroup on the evaluation of smartphone apps, the top 7 evidence-based mental health apps are: IntelliCare, Breathe2Relax, CBT-i Coach, Stop, Breathe & Think, DBSA Wellness Tracker, Virtual Hope Box, and Medisafe. Five well known teletherapy apps that offer connections to a licensed therapist are AbleTo, Betterhelp, Online-Therapy, Talkspace and 7-Cups.

Existen dos directorios de Aplicaciones que los usuarios pueden consultar para encontrar una APP de salud mental. Estos directorios son llamados NHS Apps Library Y PsyberGuide y creados en colaboración con la Asociación Americana de Ansiedad y Depresión. La lista de la aplicación de NHS ha sido “aprobada” siguiendo diversos criterios incluyendo su efectividad, seguridad y estabilidad técnica. PsyberGuide incluye evaluaciones basadas en “credibilidad, experiencia del usuario y opiniones de los expertos,” y un criterio de credibilidad credibility score “que representa la fortaleza de investigación científica de la aplicación en sí misma, y de las intervenciones terapéuticas que la aplicación provee.”

Otras aplicación para ansiedad y estrés con una evaluación de credibilidad de cuatro de cinco o mayor incluyen This Way Up, Brain HQ, Headspace, Woebot, Good Days Ahead, CogniFit, Calm, Mood Mission and Sanvello. PTSD Coach del departamento de Asuntos de Veteranos tiene buena evidencia que apoya su calidad y efectividad.

De acuerdo con el Dr. John Torous, que liderea un grupo de trabajo de la  APA que evalúa las aplicaciones de los teléfonos inteligentes, las 7 mejores aplicaciones, basadas en evidencia, para salud mental son: IntelliCare, Breathe2Relax, CBT-i Coach, Stop,  Breathe & Think, DBSA Wellness Tracker, Virtual Hope Box, and Medisafe.
