In the spirit of recognizing and reinforcing positive behaviors on campus, our staff have nominated students based on September and October's character strengths—Creativity and Proactivity. Each teacher selected one student in their class/program that they feel exemplifies one of these character strengths. If your student’s name is on the below list, they will receive a certificate in the coming days that includes a short statement on why their teacher nominated them. Congratulations to all the students who received recognition for Creativity and Proactivity!

Next quarter, we will be nominating students for Honesty and Kindness. Have a great week, Trail Blazers! 🙂

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

If you have any questions or concerns about any of these topics, please contact our Campus Testing Facilitator, Lauren Phillips, at phillipsl@friscoisd.org.
