Laredo Independent School District

This morning, City of Laredo Mayor Dr. Victor Treviño joined Laredo ISD to officially proclaim September as Attendance Awareness Month.

At LISD, we know that when students show up, they grow, learn, and succeed. 📚 In partnership with Burger King, LISD also recognized students and parents with perfect attendance. Together, we’re reminding our community that attendance matters!
