Referral Form Referral Form

Below is a link to the Counselor Referral Form. While we are still available by email or phone, we made this convenient Referral Form for students (3rd-5th), parents, and staff to reach out to us with concerns that require counselor assistance.

Kindergarten-2nd grade students will be practicing their advocating skills and will be encouraged to report to an adult as opposed to using their own technology to put in a referral.

Please feel free to use the form whenever you need to, it is monitored daily and we will reach out to you as necessary!

Kindness Movement Kindness Movement

#LISDBEKIND


In 2018, students from all five Lewisville ISD high schools – Flower Mound, Hebron, Lewisville, Marcus and The Colony – were determined to make kindness normal. That's where it all began. Today, #LISDBeKind continues to play an important role in the district.


For the 2026-27 school year, the @LISDBeKind initiative will again be a district-wide, collaborative effort. Kindness Week is set for Sept. 14 - Sept. 18, 2026. Each LISD campus will have student Kindness Ambassadors and a staff Kindness Liaison.
