Students at Gerdes have been learning healthy communication and conflict resolution skills. Effective communication plays a key role in conflict resolution and these skills are beneficial not only today, but throughout their lives.
HUGE thank you to the Luling Lions Club for a VERY generous donation to the district. These funds will be used to help students in need. Thank you Lions Club and Perla Castro for advocating for our students!
During the school year, each campus at Luling ISD will be working on No Place for Hate activities. In November, Luling Primary students are learning about how it’s okay for families to be unique or different and then they are drawing pictures of their families. This is their first lesson and activity for the 2020-2021 school year to earn the No Place for Hate designation.

The Senior Pep Rally and Senior Sunrise Breakfast have been rescheduled due to the cancellation of the football game.
The Breakfast and Pep Rally will be on Wednesday, November 18th. The Senior Breakfast will be at 7am and the Pep Rally will be at 6pm. All seniors, and their families, involved in football, cheer, dance, athletic training, and band will be recognized during the event.
At some point, we have all probably felt alone. Make a point to reach out and include others in activities at school. Be there to listen and support each other. #hereforyou #stompoutbullying

We need your meal application!
Despite all students currently receiving free breakfast and lunch, each student needs to return a completed meal application to their campus. This will ensure that there is not a lapse in meal funding later this year for your child as well as to help our district obtain additional funding for the instructional needs of our students. Our meal applications are significantly down. We encourage all households to complete a meal application, even if you plan on sending lunch from home for your student. If you have any questions, please contact Food Services at 830-875-3191.
You can access the application at the link below, or contact your child's school for a paper copy to be sent home.
