The Lion's Roar
September 6, 2024
A Note From Mrs. Bowden...
Thank you again for a wonderful start to the 2024 - 2025 school year. It truly has been an amazing start.
I know that carpool can be stressful and the staff has worked tirelessly to do all the improvements that we can. If you turn in the front entrance at 7:45 your student will not make it to their class on time. The doors open at 7:30am. I know the back up is from Teel and the cross traffic. I am working with the City of Frisco for solutions to this issue.
Please know that I listen to your concerns and solutions. I am asking that you please treat the staff with kindness, please do not use foul-language, intimidation or threats. This does not solve the issue and creates more concerns. We are working on solutions to the concerns.
I am here to serve you along with my staff. We are happy to be a part of this community and to serve the students of LPS.
It is a great day to be a LION.

Tardies
Just a reminder that the doors open at 7:30am and the tardy bell rings at 7:50am.
Below is a reminder of the consequences. This taken from the Parent Student Handbook:
- Tardy 1-2 per 9 weeks: Warning (parent contact)
- Tardy 3-4 per 9 weeks: Detention – 30 minutes (parent contact)
- Tardy 5-6 per 9 weeks: Detention – 1 hour (parent contact)
- Tardy 7+ per 9 weeks: Student Success meeting with Teacher, Principal and Registrar
Helper Helper
Students are expected to complete service hours each semester. Middle school will complete 5 hours, and high school will complete 6 hours. Hours MUST be submitted in Helper Helper within 2 weeks of the serving opportunity. Please see page 88 in the Parent/Student handbook for more details regarding what qualifies and what does not qualify for service hours.
At this time, we are working on getting all students access to Helper Helper and should be complete by the end of next week and will notify students. If you have questions, please reach out to your student's Leadership teacher.

9 Week Habits to Learn About & Practice
Habit #1 Means:
- I am in charge of the choices I make.
- I can react to things happening around me, like a soda bottle fizzing over, or I can Be Proactive and choose my mood and attitude.
- I can do the things I need to do without being asked by my teacher or parent.
Habit #5 Means:
- I listen to others without interrupting.
- I raise my hand when I want to speak and I wait to be called on.
- I don't blurt out.
- I try to understand other people's views and feelings, even if they are different from my own.
