Annual online registration is now open. This process allows parents to update contact information, provide medical background, review district documents, and more. Online registration is mandatory for all LCISD students each school year, and must be completed by parents/guardians by Wednesday, August 7 for the 2024-25 school year.

ACCESSING ONLINE REGISTRATION

You should have received an automated email from the Skyward system last week. This email provided a link to access online registration (also available on the district website, www.lcisd.net, your Skyward Login ID, and instructions for resetting your Skyward password, if necessary. If you need assistance please contact the Liberty front office (806) 993-2322.

PROOF OF RESIDENCY UPDATE
As a reminder, online registration will include a requirement to upload your driver’s license (or other government-issued ID) along with proof of residency for all students in grades kindergarten-12. Click here for instructions for uploading these items using a mobile device.

The following documents qualify as proof of residency:

• Utility bill (no older than 60 days, with a service address) in the name of the parent/guardian. Utility bills include water, gas, or electricity bills that display the date of the bill, name on the account, and service address (the mailing address shown in the envelope window is not the service address).

• Current lease agreement in the name of the parent/guardian

Cell phone bills, cable bills, internet bills, mortgage statements, and tax statements do not qualifyas proof of residency.

The name on the ID uploaded must match the name on the proof of residency document. If you are in the process of building a home in the district or construction on your home was recently completed and you do not yet have a corresponding utility bill, please upload the building contract or closing documents for the home reflecting parent/guardian name and home address.

You will not be able to complete online registration until you have uploaded these required documents, but your previous steps will be saved if you need to exit the process and complete it later after retrieving the necessary documents.

Most common issues returning from the summer:

Hair color - must be a naturally occurring color

Holes in jeans that are above the approved hemline (above fingertips of hands to the side)

Shorts/skirts/etc. that are above the approved hemline (above fingertips of hands to the side)

Tank tops or other cut-off shirts that don't meet guidelines

Student schedules will be released electronically on August 6th at 5:00 pm. Our counselors are working extremely hard to try and fulfill all requests. However, there are times in which classes conflict and we won't be able to meet every request. Schedules are tight and changes will be minimal, if any. Again, schedules were built according to requests.

Over the next few weeks, LCISD will start the verification process. Please ensure that all information is updated and accurate. Verification must be completed and immunizations must be current in order for your child's schedule to be released. Please refer to the "note from the nurse" below.

All seventh grade students must be up-to-date on 7th grade required vaccines (tDap & MCV) before they will receive their schedules. If you have any questions, please contact Kristy Rose, Director of Health Services at krose@lcisd.net.
