LHS New Student Orientation---Juniors and New Seniors
LHS Auditorium--Thursday, August 7th 6:00 p.m.
Message from your counselors...
Student schedules will be available in Skyward on Monday, August 11th.
As is the case at the start of each school year, counselors will be enrolling new students as well as replying to emails (best format of communication at this time). We will answer your email as soon as possible.
In order to make sure that we respond to your email in a sequential manner, we kindly ask you to please try and add your main point in the subject line (i.e. schedule) and reply to the same email thread, otherwise, we might miss some of your most recent messages when reaching out to you.
Here is a list of reasons for requesting a schedule correction/change:
- An error in the schedule of your course: Ex: two classes in the same period, short classes (less than 8), sequencing problems (Span. 2 before Span. 1), missing a failed course needed for graduation, you have a scheduled course completed previously; i.e. in the summer or last year.
- Change level of a course. Ex. On level to Honor or AP.
- Balancing cores in your schedule. Ex: 2 cores in the fall and 2 cores in the spring. (per class availability)
- Program/Placement issues: Ex: a requested change out of or into athletics, a fine arts program, ROTC, Real Estate, INCubator, etc. ***If applicable Director or Coaches approval is required***
Some things to keep in mind when looking at your schedule:
- If a course that you requested conflicted with a core class, then one of your alternates was used.
- Each course has a building number associated with it as well as period and room number. We are a TRIAD (3 campuses) with two Technology, Exploration and Career Centers. A total of 5 campuses where your courses ‘could’ be held.
- Here is how you know where to go (building number associated with each of your courses)
- 001 is LHS
- 009 is Killough
- 014 is Harmon
- 003 is Career Center East
- 011 is Career Center West
Once on campus, please head to the cafeteria area to catch your bus to your destination.
Thank you for your patience and for your continued support!
GO FARMERS!!

2026 Parent Prevention & Wellness Resource Flyers
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:
Should you need more information on the above topics or are in need of support for your child in a different area, please reach out to your student’s school counselor–they are here to help!
Sincerely,
LISD Counseling and Social Work Services
BACK-TO-SCHOOL FORMS
Families of returning students to the district will have an opportunity to update their back-to-school forms during the summer that include permissions for district technology use, updated health information, acknowledgement of the Student Handbook and Code of Conduct, and updates to other important information so the district is able to stay in contact with families and support student needs. You will receive a reminder email from the district when those forms are available in your Skyward Family Access account.
These forms are available in the Skyward Family Access account. If a student has multiple families attached to their account, only the Family 1 parent or guardian can access the forms.
Did you receive a communication from the District or your child's campus about missing forms? This RESOURCE may help.
