As many of you know, our district was closed on Thursday, January 9, 2025, due to anticipated wintry weather. To meet the Texas Education Agency’s (TEA) requirement of a minimum of 75,600 operational minutes per school year, we must make up this missed day. The Leverett’s Chapel Board of Trustees has approved Monday, April 7, 2025, as the designated make-up day. This date was already included in the master school calendar as a contingency for situations like this. We encourage everyone to mark their calendars and plan accordingly for this adjustment. Thank you for your understanding and support as we work together to prioritize our students’ education and safety. Go Lions! Mr. Everett
