School Begins Wednesday, August 10
The summer has flown by and it is already time to start thinking about back-to-school. The first day of school for LISD is Wednesday, August 10. That means it is time to brush up on some school zone safety tips:
- Be on the lookout for school zone signals and ALWAYS obey the speed limits.
- Always stop for school busses that are loading and unloading children.
- Keep a look out for school crossing guards and obey their signals.
- Never pass other vehicles while driving in a school zone.
- NEVER text while driving.
- Texas law prohibits using a cell phone while driving in a school zone unless it is hands-free.
- Watch out for children near schools, bus stops, sidewalks, and in the streets before and after school hours.
Have a safe and productive school year!

All Highland Village veterans, whether living or deceased, are eligible to be recognized provided they meet the following criteria: the veteran, who was honorably discharged, maintained Highland Village residency for a period of at least one year at any point in the veteran’s life. A 2” x 6” plate, funded by the family or a sponsor, will be ordered by the City and placed on the stone monument on the landscaped grounds of the Highland Village Municipal Complex, adjacent to the Armed Forces Monument and the Inland Trail. The ceremony will take place on November 8, 2022. An application must be completed and submitted
