Attention class of 2027! Now is the time to sign up for your official senior yearbook photo with Legacy Studios. Sessions will be held at Carroll Senior High June 16-18 and July 14-16 in the lecture hall. There is no sitting fee for the yearbook pose with Legacy, however you may choose to add a cap and gown photo or other poses at registration. All seniors will be photographed in a studio-provided tux front or drape. Register at: https://seniors.legacystudios.com/carroll-senior-hs-southlake-tx/

There will only be one additional photo date in the fall with limited time slots for retakes or any seniors who are unable to attend the summer sessions. This date will only be for the yearbook pose, not cap and gown or other poses. We highly recommend the summer session.

Class of 2027 Senior Yearbook FAQs:

Legacy Studios

Where and when are senior portraits taken?

Carroll Senior High Lecture Hall

June 16-18

How can I schedule my senior’s photos?

https://seniors.legacystudios.com/carroll-senior-hs-southlake-tx/

Is there a fee?

The yearbook sitting fee has been waived and additional poses, such as cap and gown, can be requested for a fee.

What do seniors wear?

Legacy will provide a tux-front or drape. It is recommended that girls wear a strapless top or tank top so that straps can be easily adjusted and hidden under the drape for the photo. Jewelry is allowed to be worn in the photo as well.

What if I do not take a yearbook photo with Legacy? Can I submit one of my own photos?

Only tux/drape photos taken by Legacy Studios will be included in the senior portrait section of the yearbook. Submitted photos will not be accepted. If a student is unable to take a photo during one of the days Legacy is available on campus, they will be listed as “not pictured” in the senior portrait section.

How can I stay up to date on information regarding CSHS yearbooks?

Follow @slcdragonmedia on instagram and/or Facebook

How and when do parents order senior photos? 2-3 weeks after photo day a link will be emailed to the parent with emails provided by the student during the photo day session letting them know digital proofs are available. From there, pricing will be available, and parents will be able to purchase photos. If parents have issues receiving the email, they can use the attached flyer to find their photos.

How and when do parents receive senior photos?

Legacy Studios mails portraits and any other items ordered to the student’s home, not school

When is the deadline to purchase the yearbook or to purchase senior tribute advertisements in the yearbook?

Senior recognition ads are due in early December if parents choose to purchase one for their graduate. Ads and yearbooks can be purchased through jostensyearbooks.com beginning in August. In order to guarantee a copy of the yearbook, please purchase online prior to February 1, 2027.

Please remember, while after school campus traffic can be a time-consuming process, it is the safest method and it respects the privacy of our neighbors. Families are encouraged to use designated pickup lines, avoid stopping along posted roadways, and allow a few extra minutes as traffic patterns adjust.

Our goal is to ensure the safety of all our students and we thank you for using the CHS and CSHS campuses to pick up students!

All students must wear their ID Badge daily for security and entrance into the buildings as the outside doors are locked and not open for entrance without your ID Badge.

• ALL students are required to wear their ID Badges on their person at all times and should be worn on a lanyard around the neck and be visible at all times.

• If a student arrives without a badge, they will need to check in at the front office to purchase a replacement ($10, billed to Skyward) before continuing into the building.

• Replacement ID Badges must be purchased for $10 in the CHS AP Office for 9th and 10th graders and in the CSHS Library for 11th and 12th graders.

• ID Badges will also be used in the cafeteria to purchase food and beverages and in the library.

Thank you for partnering with us to keep our school secure and welcoming for everyone.

Thanks to the support of our Carroll ISD Board of Trustees, we are proud to offer the Senior Citizen Dragon Card—free admission to all home extracurricular events for community members aged 60 and older. This card is a way to show appreciation for our community’s ongoing support of our Dragons.

To qualify, you must be a resident of the Carroll Independent School District. The card provides free admission to any home event throughout the school year.

To pick up your Senior Citizen Dragon Card stop by the CISD Administration Building, Monday thru Friday from 8:00am to 4:30 pm.

Come join us and cheer on the Dragons—on us!

1. If your student will be late to school or absent all day, please email attendance or have your student turn in a dismissal note to attendance when they arrive on campus.

* It is important to note that we can no longer dismiss a student with a parent phone call *

Juniors: VICTORIA.JAMES@southlakecarroll.edu

2. If your student needs to be dismissed early, please send them with a note or send an email to attendance indicating the time they need to be released. They will need to stop by the front attendance office before school or during a passing period to get a slip which will allow them to leave class. We are not allowed to call into a classroom to dismiss a student unless it is a true emergency. This prevents disrupting the entire class with a phone call from the office in the event the students are testing. Teachers have been informed not to accept texts or handwritten notes from the student – all dismissals must go through the attendance office.

3. Each year, many students (and parents) assume that because they are 18 years old, they can sign themselves out. For liability reasons, each student must have parent permission before we can allow them to sign out and leave campus during the school day.

4. College Visits – Students are allowed 2 (two) excused absence, per semester to visit a college campus. Students will need to stop by the attendance office before the visit to sign our request form and pick up a College Visit Form, along with instructions, to be completed by the University while they are on campus.

5. Students will receive an absence if they miss more than 20 minutes of a class, either from a tardy or early dismissal.

6. If your student becomes ill while they are at school, they may ask to go to the nurse’s office. If it is determined by the nurse (after consulting with a parent/guardian) that your student needs to go home, they will be given a slip by the nurse to sign out with the attendance office. Students are not allowed to sign themselves out ill without first going through the clinic.

Absences:

A parent/guardian must contact CHS attendance (CHSAttendance@southlakecarroll.edu or 817-949-5609) any day (or duration) that their student will not be in school. If the absence is due to a medical appointment, religious observance, court appearance or day-of driver’s permit/license, please provide the written excuse/documentation.

All Student Arrivals

9th & 10th grade students must enter classrooms by 8:00am. Students must sign in at the attendance office if they arrive any time after 8:00am – even if it is during a passing period or lunchtime - to receive a pass. If a student arrives less than 20 minutes late for any block – they receive a tardy. If arrival is greater than 20 minutes, the student is absent for the entire block (per TEA code). In this case, CHS needs a parent/guardian note or phone call, or excusable appointment documentation. If we do not receive notice, the student will be unexcused for the block. Accruing unexcused absences leads to truancy tracking per the TEA Code.

Freshman Departures

9th grade students. Parents/guardians of 9th graders must physically sign their student out at the attendance office for early dismissal. This applies at both our High School and Senior High School. If someone other than a parent/guardian is picking up the student, that person must be on the emergency contact list in Family Access. If they are not, please provide their name and CHS will copy their driver’s license before we release the student.

Sophomore Departures

10th grade students. Many sophomores drive, therefore their departure procedure is different from freshmen. With written parent/guardian notice only, 10th graders may sign themselves out for early dismissal. Please follow these guidelines.

~ A parent/guardian writes a hard-copy note (no email or phone call) that includes:

~ Name of student (first and last)

~ Date of departure

~ Time of dismissal

~ Signature of parent/guardian signature

~ Phone of parent/guardian

In the morning, the student brings the hard-copy, parent/guardian note to the attendance office in exchange for an early dismissal slip. At the approved time, the student shows the dismissal slip to their teacher and walks down to the attendance office to sign out.

Visitors entering and exiting from the front entrance is to ensure the safety for our campuses. We have asked all staff to not open any side or back doors, as everyone needs to enter the front doors.

We will also require all visitors to show their drivers license at the front door camera before entrance into the school. Be prepared to show your ID every time you visit a CISD school, even if pre-registered.

Thank you for your understanding as we strive to make our campus as safe as possible for your children.

Closed Campus

CSHS and CHS are closed campuses and students may not leave campus during lunch. Parents are able to drop off lunch for their student at the drop off table in the CHS or CSHS front lobby.
