SENIORS

Seniors will return their Chromebooks in the library on May 14 and May 15. Students must return both the Chromebook and the correct charger. We cannot accept teacher cords or off-brand chargers; it must be a Dell brand 65W charger. Before returning the device, students should remove any personal stickers, but they should not remove FISD barcode labels or numbers. If a senior needs to purchase a replacement charger or if their Chromebook is damaged, they must contact Ms. Serna by May 11 so the fee ($20 for chargers) can be added to their account. Adding the fees and paying takes time, so don't wait!

When returning a Chromebook, students should only hand it directly to a staff member in the library who can issue a digital receipt. For seniors, any fees for missing equipment or damages must be paid by May 15 at 4:00 PM. If equipment is not returned or fees are not paid on time, graduation tickets may be withheld, and diplomas may be held until the account is cleared.

Seniors will also lose access to their FISD account, including HAC, Canvas, the student portal, and H Drive, shortly after graduation, though Google access will remain available until January 2027.

STUDENTS IN GRADES 9-11

Students in grades 9–11 should begin checking their Chromebooks now for issues such as missing keys, cracked screens, sound, camera, trackpad, power button, wireless connection, and charger. Any needed repairs should be reported in Incident IQ, and teachers can help students submit a ticket if needed.

Students who are returning to FISD next year should keep their Chromebook and charger, even if they are transferring to another FISD high school. However, families who are moving out of district must return the Chromebook and charger to the library by May 19, and they should be sure to hand it to a staff member who can issue a receipt. Families who decide to leave FISD over the summer will need to return Chromebooks and chargers to the administration building.

We are thrilled to celebrate the incredible achievements of our Class of 2026! The Frisco Education Foundation (FEF) recently announced its annual scholarship recipients, and Lebanon Trail High School was well-represented by a group of hardworking and dedicated seniors.

Here is a breakdown of the impact these awards have made on our Trailblazers:

• 56 Seniors were recognized as FEF Scholarship recipients.

• 67 Total Scholarships were awarded to these students (as some seniors earned more than one!).

• $45,750 was the grand total in scholarship funds granted to our LTHS seniors.

We are incredibly proud of these students for their academic commitment and the bright futures they are building. Please join us in congratulating the Class of 2026 on this significant achievement!

Wednesday, May 20 – Friday, May 22
School hours: 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM

*More specific details will be shared as we get closer to the final weeks

Every instructional day counts. Unlike in recent years, student grades and assessments will now be collected through the very last week of school. The final instructional day of the 2025-2026 school year is on May 22, 2026. We know that families often plan trips in advance, but please avoid scheduling family travel before that date, as absences can affect learning and final grades.

You can review the 2025-2026 academic calendar here. Thank you for helping your student finish the year strong!

We encourage you to use this form to nominate a teacher or staff member who you believe deserves special recognition for their contributions. I look forward to sharing your “Staff Shout Outs” with the LT staff.
