Good morning, Laredo.

Texas A&M International University will host the 29th Annual Western Hemispheric Trade Conference from April 9 to 11 where business leaders, researchers, and policymakers will discuss key trade issues.

On April 4, Laredo ISD responded to online claims that a student planned to bring a gun to Lamar Middle School by launching an investigation that found no weapon and no danger, and the student faced legal and Student Code of Conduct consequences.

Laredo ISD opened its online registration for the 2025-26 school year so parents can enroll students from pre-kindergarten to 12th grade using the district’s Skyward Family Access portal—new students must show proof of residency.

Families without internet access or who need help can call the district’s support line.

Webb County Head Start and Early Head Start programs assist local families by preparing children from two months to five years for school and supporting pregnant women with home visits and advice.

The service offers parent training and family events (Roxanne Garcia said the program connects families to extra help when needed).

City park officials warned that snake activity poses a risk for visitors on Laredo trails this weekend.

They advise everyone to stay on designated paths and avoid tall grass while reporting any snake sightings to the Parks Department.

Joe Troudt from Laredo Rehabilitation Hospital explained that during National Occupational Therapy Month, the hospital helps patients regain independence after being discharged from hospitals—treating conditions like strokes, hip fractures, and traumatic brain injuries.

The facility is located at 2005A Bustamante St. and supports adults in adjusting their daily activities.
