Blazer Bulletin for Dec 4-8

FISD policy does not permit students to 'work ahead' or to get missed work from teachers prior to the planned absences. Students who remain enrolled, will receive the grade earned, and upon return can work with teachers to get missing work submitted within a reasonable time frame and teachers can then submit a grade change form if applicable. It is the student’s responsibility to meet with the teacher and turn in missing work or make up missed assessments upon return to campus.

Parents, T'is the season when your older children who graduated from LT, will be coming home from college and wanting to visit with their teachers. While we are happy to help facilitate this connection, please be aware and inform your older children that they will need to follow the following guidelines:

• Past students will need to have an acceptable ID in order to access the building.

• Past students will need to make an appointment with the teacher, and visits may only take place during a teachers' conference period.

• The staff member will need to come down to the front office to meet the student visitor.

• After the visit, the staff member will escort the student visitor back to the front office.

• Student graduates will NOT be allowed to visit during Mega Lunch.

• Student graduates will NOT be given a visitor badge and should NOT be walking the hallway without a staff member escort.

Last week our students participated in the campus Club Fair. More than 60 student organizations participated and showcased their club information, giving students a chance to make connections and find their people. Parents, please encourage your students to join a club. At Lebanon Trail, we believe in the power of connections.

Congratulations to Faith Olores who was one of 12 FISD students selected to advance to the TMEA Area Auditions at University of Texas at Arlington on January 6th, 2024! We are so proud of you.

The College Board released the spring 2024 testing schedule in late June 2023. The dates conflict with the last two days of school and two graduation ceremonies. Late testing dates are available if students cannot test during the first two full weeks of May.

Considerations

• Graduating seniors will have the option to register for the late exam at Lebanon Trail (no additional charge)

• Late Testing Circumstances

• Building and space availability for original and late exam times
