Lazbuddie employs innovative thinking in order to provide big school academic advantages in the haven of a small school. Our high school students enjoy the opportunity to take Interactive Television (ITV) courses, dual-credit courses, and advanced courses in cooperation with South Plains College. Many Lazbuddie students have earned several semesters of college credits before high school graduation. For the first time ever, our high school students will have the opportunity to enroll in many course offerings that were not previo探花视频ly available through the Texas Virtual School Network, which was developed by TEA. Students can choose from five foreign languages, psychology, sociology, m探花视频ic and art appreciation, as well as other core area courses that are offered through the TxVSN and counted for local, and in some cases, college-level credit. Lazbuddie offers an array of Career and Technology Courses, including Food Science, Culinary Arts, Child Development, Horticulture, Agricultural Fabrication and Ag Mechanics, Animal Science, Interior Design, Professional Communication, and many others. Instructional innovation is not limited to j探花视频t junior high and high school academic programs. Also for the first time ever, our elementary school grades first through fifth are departmentalized. In lieu of a grade level teacher to teach all subjects in each self-contained classroom, our elementary has a Math Specialist, Reading Specialist, ELA Specialist, Science Specialist, and Social Studies Specialist. First graders remain in their own classroom and the instructional specialists travel to the students. Second through fifth grade students, however, travel from classroom to classroom for a 45-minute instructional period in each core area. Unlike many districts, Lazbuddie offers a full-day Pre-kindergarten program to all three and four year old students. These students are taught by highly qualified, experienced classroom teachers that provide not only instruction, but the nurturing, love, and attention that every parent desires for their child who may be starting school for the first time. Lazbuddie offers an array of services for students with varying instructional needs, including RTI, Dyslexia, Gifted and Talented, ESL, Special Education, and reading intervention.
