Blazer Bulletin for Nov 6-Nov 10

It’s getting colder, and students must dress accordingly to protect themselves from the elements. Due to drills, planned and unplanned, students may be required to move outdoors for a period of time and should have appropriate clothing available for such instances. Please be mindful of this as you send your students to school.

Come out for the Frisco Community Parade. The theme this year will be Stars, Stripes, and Service!

You will not want to miss it. The parade is on November 11, 2023, at 10 a.m. Beginning at 10 am, the parade will leave Toyota Stadium, traveling east on Main Street through historic downtown before finishing at North County Rd.

During the month of November all students in grade 11 across the district are scheduled to take the annual Safe Schools Survey. We will take this survey on 11/13 during Homeroom. The responses provided on the survey are anonymous and the survey is optional. We take this survey seriously and use the results to help our staff address any safety and health concerns our students may have at our campus.

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
