DUAL CREDIT FALL 2023 DEADLINES
For students taking Dual Credit Classes in the fall - the payment deadline is May 19th, 2023. HERE is the link to get started!
Dress Code
Student Identification Cards (ID) and Trust Cards are a part of the student dress code.
Please make sure your student has their ID and trust card every day and they are prominently displayed on lanyards worn around the neck. This is important for safety and security purposes.
This policy is outlined in our Parent/Student Handbook (pg. 84):
Learners at Leadership Prep School will be given Trust Cards at the beginning of 5th grade. These cards are a visible symbol of our school’s culture of self-leadership, trust, respect, and responsibility. We expect each learner to be trustworthy, respectful of themselves and others, and responsible for their actions, belongings, and learning. Learners may forfeit their Trust Cards to staff members if they violate the school’s rules. Learners who do not have their trust card lose privileges in the building and in classrooms such as working in project workrooms or bringing a snack into class. In addition, student ID’s must be worn and visible at all times.
Failure to have a Student ID or trust card (unless the trust card was taken due to violation of school rules) is a dress code violation and will result in disciplinary action.
Thank you for partnering with us.

Career Readiness and Internship Program
The Career Readiness and Internship Program is a five-year initiative that allows students to explore their career interests while applying leadership skills and knowledge to real world situations.
Students will complete yearly requirements that help set them up for future success no matter what post-secondary life opportunities they pursue – mock interviews, job shadowing, internships, and practicums. Our program exceeds the expectations of area schools allowing your student to have opportunities that others may not have until after high school.
FOR 10th GRADERS
You must complete 12 shadowing hours in the field of your choice before May 1 of this year. Read more on the link below.

LPS Parent Pride Patrol! Lions travel in prides, and ours needs help getting to class on time!
Click here to sign up.
This is a program for parents to be involved, show leadership and help us monitor the hallways. You are actively present, slightly intimidating, yet friendly and you get to wear a cool vest and have a Walkie Talkie!
The Pride Patrol is a welcome presence in the hallways, stairwells and lunchroom. Parents can greet students, build rapport, check for hall passes and monitor safety. The time commitment is minimal. Time slots are in 30-minute increments. Sign up for one or several!
We currently have Pride Patrol on Mondays and Fridays.
Steps to get started:
- If you haven't already done so for this year, you will need to complete the yearly background check (this information is kept confidential) before serving (you don't hear back unless there is an issue)
Show up for your time slot(s) at the Secondary Front Office. You will need to check in with your ID. There will be a special place to get your Pride Patrol vest and Walkie Talkie.
- Review this list of things to look for and do while on patrol
Saturday School
Who is Saturday School for?
Students who have been identified as needing ACCELERATED INSTRUCTION (AI) and have been contacted by LPS prior to today.
- This means any student who needs hours toward their 30 Hours of tutoring for any STAAR subject they failed can come to Saturday AI School from 8:30 to 12:30.
- Remember, 30 hours of tutoring is needed for each STAAR subject a student fails.
- For students who failed more than one STAAR subject, Saturday School might be necessary for your student to complete their required number of tutoring hours for each subject.
- Students making up hours for TRUANCY have been contacted by LPS prior to today and may be able to attend Saturday School.
AI Saturday School is also a great resource for students who are struggling in a subject and need extra help prior to testing.
Students should be dropped off at the main front entrance of the school and check in with Ms. Ray at the front desk once they enter the building before reporting to their tutoring classroom. If you have any questions regarding AI Saturday School, please contact Loralea Ray at lray@lpsfrisco.com. Please be sure to reference your student’s name, grade, and subjects needed for tutoring in the email.
LET'S CELEBRATE ALL OF OUR STATE CHAMPIONS!

The team would like to thank everyone for their support throughout the year!
Community Service Hours are Required EACH Semester
To access the volunteer app, sign in here: https://app.helperhelper.com/
We have events listed every Friday evening with Generations Hope from 5:30-8:30. More information is on the Helper Helper website/app!
Student volunteers will supervise physical play time and make sure students are following rules and maintaining a culture of "treating others how we would like to be treated".
Any problems or issues will be reported to the Teacher or Helper, and are not to be dealt with by the Student Volunteer. Community service hours can be earned for volunteer time for your school or club (NHS, Lighthouse, scouts), and will look great on college applications.
