Seniors and Senior Parents-

These are all requirements for graduation.

*Please remember that your presentation draft is due before winter break starts. You have 3 days to get it to me. If you do not know if you have shared it or know what to do, PLEASE come see me. I am here to help!

*You need 30 total hours by May 1st for your shadow/certifications/internship etc. Please utilize the breaks to get those hours done if possible. All hours are due by May 1st.

*You need a minimum of 45 service hours logged in Helper Helper by May 1st. If you would like the Community Service cord at graduation, you need at least 150 hours by May 1st.

*Xello lessons, grade 8-12, need to be completed by May 1st.

Please know that May 1st is a hard deadline. There is a lot of work that staff will need to complete between May 1st and graduation.

Senior Presentations will be the week of April 28th-May 1st. Mark you calendars. I will send out the SignUp Genius after we return.

Course Requests for Next Year 20252-2026

All information regarding course requests and graduation plans for the 2025-2026 school year can be found linked here on the Academic Advising page of our website.

This year has proven to be more difficult with Dress Code. I ask that you partner with us in ensuring that your student arrives daily in the appropriate Dress to comply with the standards of Leadership Prep. There are consequences with not being in Dress Code. Students are afforded the opportunity to change into clothes from the nurse and to call home. If they choose to not wear the clothes from the nurse until a change of clothes arrive, they will be waiting in the ISS room. Below are the most common that the staff and Administrators are finding. The Dress Code and Examples are found on page 21 of the Parent Student Handbook located on the main page of the LPS website.

Students who do not follow the school’s guidelines for personal attire and appearance may be subject to discipline under the Student Code of Conduct. Additionally, a parent will be contacted to bring an acceptable change of clothing to school, and the student may be assigned to in-school suspension for the remainder of the day until a change of clothes is brought to the school.

• At the Secondary Campus, student ID’s must be worn and visible at all times. Students who lose ID cards may replace the card upon request for a $5 fee.

• Girls may also wear khaki or navy skirts/skorts, and girls in K-4 may wear khaki or navy jumpers as well. The length must be no shorter than four inches above the kneel, and solid navy modesty shorts are to be worn underneath skirts/skorts/jumpers at all times. * it is not fingertip length as most believe. Please check before your student arrives at school.
• No yoga, cargo, joggers, or athletic-type pants are allowed.
• Shirts must be tucked in all day.
• No flip-flops, sandals, slippers, clogs, crocs, wheelies, light up shoes, platform shoes, wedges, or boots of any kind are allowed. UGG's are boots and are not allowed, including the UGG booties.

Please help by checking your student's uniform daily.

Thank you!

Hello Parents,

We are in desperate need for volunteers to help serve lunch at both our elementary and secondary campuses on Mondays and Thursdays. If you’re available to assist on either or both days, your support would be greatly appreciated!

As an added bonus, volunteering gives you a chance to see your kids during the school day. Whether you can help regularly or just occasionally, any time you can offer is valuable.

If you're interested, please email me at jdugas1@lpsfrisco.com with your preferred campus and availability.

Thank you for your help in making our lunch service a success!

Best regards,

Jennifer Dugas

Lunch Coordinator
