We hope you enjoyed the long weekend and spent some time with your loved ones. Please pay special attention below for changes to our regular bell schedules.

To help accommodate AP College Board testing logistics we will be switching to Traditional lunch beginning May 1. Please be sure to plan accordingly.

For anyone that has not purchased a yearbook our publisher has overprinted a small handful of books.

These books will be sold on a first come first serve basis until gone or until Friday 4-25 whichever comes first.

There are only a small number of overprints so they will go quickly.

Students must be fully registered by May 23, 2025 to receive their schedule on the first release date. Between April 1 – 7, parents and guardians should have received an email invitation to indicate enrollment intentions for the 2025-2026 school year. (Helpful tip- search Annual Registration in your junk box) Please complete the 2025-2026 returning student registration if your student will stay at Lebanon Trail, transfer to another FISD campus or not returning at all next school year.

Two steps to complete 25-26 registration:

1. Annual Returning Registration: You must complete this or your student will not be able to start on the first day of school (August 13, 2025).

1. Proof of Residency: Please upload a copy of your most recent Proof of Residency (water, gas or electric statement only). (Visit www.friscoisd.org/about/enrollment/proof-of-residency)

If you are submitting an affidavit, both the guardian and the homeowner must be present at the school to meet with an Assistant Principal. Email the Data Clerk at slaglea@friscoisd.org to request an appointment. It is important to note that the deadline to submit a valid Proof of Residency is May 23, 2025 for secondary students to view their schedule on the first release date. Secondary students submitting Proof of Residency after the deadline may not receive their schedule prior to the start of school.

Transferring to another FISD campus: Please complete the annual returning registration and upload your “New” proof of residency and we will take care of the transfer for you.

Not returning to Lebanon Trail or FISD next school year: Please complete the annual returning registration and indicate where your student will be attending so we can send official records.

If you’re leaving Lebanon Trail or FISD, please make sure all school items are returned before departure. (Chromebook, library books, textbooks, sport uniforms, etc)

We look forward to celebrating our upperclassmen in a fun Blazer festival on May 20th. Please note that attendance will be taken and that the expectation is that all students be in attendance on that day.

Jostens was on campus March 3rd for cap & gown delivery. If you did not pick up your order, please stop by the front office and see Mrs. Springer. Be sure to bring your student ID or driver's license.

There is still time to order! Orders placed after this week's delivery will be shipped directly to your home. Click here to be taken directly to our school’s homepage at Jostens.

Individual reminders will be sent out soon for those who still need to order their cap & gown!

• Graduates may only wear FISD-approved graduation attire and regalia including the campus-approved cap and gown and campus-approved cords and stoles.

• Non-FISD approved stoles, leis, cords and/or any other non-FISD-approved outerwear are not permitted at graduation ceremonies.

• Caps and/or other FISD-approved regalia and/or attire may not be decorated or amended in any way that disrupts uniformity amongst graduates. For example, a student may wear their personal jewelry or a small pendant, but may not wear a jacket, shawl, etc. that would make the student appear distractingly dissimilar to their graduating peers.

• All items that don’t conform to the above guidelines will be confiscated when students check in at the Ford Center and it is the responsibility of the student to collect those items during diploma pick-up immediately following commencement ceremonies. Lebanon Trail is not responsible for lost or stolen items.

Live streaming: Will be available for home watch parties. More info will be posted on the FISD Graduation website in early May 2025.
