As a reminder, all families received a communication related to the new Health Consent form required by SB 12. Here is a blurb you can share in your campus newsletters to support this effort.

LISD families are required to complete back-to-school forms each year in Skyward Family Access. For 2025–26, the packet now includes a new Nurse Consent form required by Senate Bill 12. This form was due by Sept. 1, 2025 for your child to receive care from the school nurse for illness or injury. Even if you have already completed your forms, please log back in to Skyward to review and submit this new consent.

On Tuesday, August 26 we had our annual Title 1 meeting. At the meeting, we reviewed:

• THESE SLIDES.
• Parent Compact
• Parent and Family Engagement Policy

We would greatly appreciate more feedback regarding spending Title 1 funds and documents. Please share your feedback below.

If you have not already done so, please complete LISD’s back-to-school forms in your Skyward Family Access account. The back-to-school forms must be submitted for every student each school year.

• Returning students - families need to review all forms, make necessary changes or updates, and submit.
• New students - families must complete ALL forms and submit.

Bus Locator

• You can type your address in this WEBSITE to see bus numbers and stops.

Parent App - HERE COMES THE BUS

• The GPS function will update in the app every 1-2 seconds.
• Parents & students can track their bus by the bus number.

Transportation Call Center

In order to attend a game/athletic competition/or special event of any kind, ALL students must either,

1. Wear their current School ID

2. Be accompanied by a parent

If a student shows up to a HOME or AWAY event without their ID, or their parent, they will NOT be permitted to attend and will be turned away at the door. Also, backpacks and school bags are not allowed and will not be stored. LISD has adopted a Clear Bag Policy this year, captured below, and all spectators, students and adults, must comply. Lastly, all spectators are subject to the Weapons Detection System and to help make event arrival smoother, please review the informational video HERE.

In Lewisville ISD, the whole child is at the core of everything we do as a district, including our students' mental, emotional and physical health. With counselors on every campus, LISD knows parents want their children to receive an outstanding education, but more importantly, they want their children to be nurtured and cared for beyond just academics.

LISD provides families with resources to ensure each child receives the support they need to develop every aspect of their being.

Please see the topics and linked resources below:

• Bullying/Cyberbullying

• Child Abuse

At this month's board meeting, the Board approved designating several district-owned properties as surplus, which gives us the flexibility to explore opportunities to sell, lease, or develop these properties in ways that best support our students and community. Read the full update HERE.
