Trail Blazer Bulletin August 4-8

We will be holding our Class of 2029 Stampede for our incoming freshmen and students new to LT on Friday, August 8th, from 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm at Lebanon Trail High School. Students will have the opportunity to tour the campus, pick up their Chromebooks, and meet their new classmates. This is a student-only event. For any student who is unable to make it, we will have an opportunity for a self-guided tour on Monday, August 11th, from 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm.

First-day jitters? Let’s shake those off! 📍 Come walk your schedule on August 11 from 5:00–6:00 PM at Lebanon Trail High School. You’ll get to explore the building, locate your classrooms, and feel more ready to start the year strong. This is a come-and-go event—bring your schedule and a smile! 🐎✨

URGENT: Please submit your Powerschool online registration and/or Proof of Residency as soon as possible. Schedules will ONLY be released to students who have completed the annual enrollment; furthermore, students who have NOT completed the annual enrollment requirements will not be able to attend class on the first day of school and will be withdrawn.

Documentation of a current utility bill is required to complete the registration process for all students. Please have the following information available when accessing the website to submit your student’s proof of residency:

• Student ID #

• School Campus

• Student Date of birth

• Parent/Guardian Phone number (same as on file with the school)

• PDF of acceptable proof of residence

Parents with multiple students attending LTHS will need to submit proof of residency for each student individually. Once submitted the proof of residency will be reviewed by staff to verify it meets District Requirements. If we cannot accept your POR for any reason, you will be contacted for further information.

Students without the necessary POR will report to a staging area the first day of school and will be provided with a printed schedule. If the POR is NOT received by Monday, August 18 the student will be withdrawn.

Food deliveries (and other deliveries) for students from parents or guardians are NOT permitted. No outside school deliveries from sources such as UBER, Lyft or restaurant delivery will be accepted. Students are NOT permitted to exit the building for pickups of any kind. Any deliveries will be confiscated by campus administration and not returned to students.

New Rule: No Personal Devices at School

Starting Aug. 13, 2025, and in line with Texas House Bill 1481, Frisco ISD students can’t use personal devices — cellphones, smartwatches, tablets, personal laptops, earbuds and more — during the school day, even at lunch or between classes.

What to know: Students should leave devices at home when possible. If they bring them, devices must stay off and in backpacks from bell to bell. Devices seen, heard or used will be confiscated. All secondary students have a Chromebook to use for schoolwork.

Staying in touch: Students won’t be able to text or call you, so call the school office if you need to reach them. Staff will deliver urgent messages, and students can check their email on their Chromebook. Please keep your contact info updated and try to plan appointments or pickups in advance.

More details & FAQs

All exterior doors will be locked throughout the school day. Visitors, including parents and guardians, will need to use the video doorbell monitor at the main entrance to request access. A staff member will verify your identity before granting entry.

• Students: Students arriving late must present their student ID to be admitted into the building.

• Parents/Guardians: When you arrive, please have your driver's license ready to present to the video monitor.

To check a student out during the school day, you will use the video doorbell monitor. With the new legislative changes, we will be adjusting our previous practice of encouraging parents to text students upon arrival. To avoid disruptions to the classroom and ensure a smooth process, please ensure your student is aware of any scheduled appointments. If an unexpected situation arises, such as an early appointment or a need to pick up your child, the front office will contact the student directly by notifying the classroom.

These new procedures will help us maintain a secure learning environment for everyone and ensure that we are in compliance with the new law. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we make this transition.

• Press the ring bell and wait for a response;

• The ring will light up and you will hear a doorbell chime.

• There may be a pause before you receive a response.

• When you hear a response:

• Hold your ID close to the camera

• State your reason for visiting Lebanon Trail HS

• If you are picking up a student:

• Scan the QR Code to complete the Check Out Form

• If your driver’s license has previously been scanned, please wait outside or in your vehicle for your student.

• You will be asked to enter the office if your driver’s license has not been scanned.

• Report your student’s absence using the Report an Absence feature on the LTHS website or by replying to the attendance email.

What to Bring on the First Day

✅ Writing utensils
✅ Paper
✅ Chromebook (charged)
✅ Folder or binder —

Many students prefer:

• One binder for A Day and one for B Day

• Folders inside each binder for individual classes

Teachers will offer additional guidance on the best system for each class during the first few weeks of school.

Calculators

• Calculators are provided in class for all courses that require them — students are not required to purchase their own.

• For students who prefer to have a personal calculator, the TI-84 is recommended. The TI-84 is used in all FISD math classes and is also widely used in college Math courses.

The Best Buddies officer team ( Advika Singhal, Ali Mano, Nick Griffin, Garima Duggal) had a great time at Indiana University learning and growing together at the Best Buddies Leadership Conference. This year's theme was "Wickedly Inclusive," and it was definitely a wicked good time!"

The Counselors are excited for this new school year.

Please keep in mind that as counselors continue to level class sizes, student schedules may change. Student schedules will continue to be updated through Tuesday, August 12th. While classes typically will not change, the period or teacher may change as we level. In addition, Advisory sections may not be on the preliminary schedule, but will be included on the schedule before the first day of school. All students will need to verify their schedules again before school on August 13th in the event changes have occurred.
