Join us December 11th at 6:00pm in the Legacy Ranch High School cafeteria for LHISD’s monthly Parent Speaker Series.
This month’s focus: Viewing of the documentary ScreenAgers, Growing up in the Digital Age
Parents and students in 4th grade and up are invited to come learn about:
- The addictive qualities of gaming, and screen time
- Setting technology limits
- How to have healthy parent/child conversations on the topic of technology
All students will log into the Flex Securly system today. This is where they will sign up for any flex time activity. Students must select their Activity of choice by 11AM.
When students log into the Securly system, they should see all the options to choose from. If students sign up in that Activity, their attendance will be recorded by the host of that Activity. Students will be counted absent if they do not report to their chosen Activity.
If you have any questions about how to operate the Securly system, you can find the tutorials below. Some of these were shown during Flex last week and some might be new.
Every student is expected to follow the LHISD Dress Code & Student Code of Conduct everyday.

Showing up for school has a tremendous impact on a student's academic success. Even as children grow older and more independent, families play a key role in making sure students get to school every day. Making school a priority promotes your student's success in school.
What Can You Do?
- Talk about the importance of showing up for school every day.
- Help your student maintain daily routines, like completing homework and getting a good night's sleep.
- Promote good health habits.
- Monitor your Child's attendance and academic progress and seek support when needed..
Students are counted tardy if they arrive to a class in the first 10 minutes. After the first 10 minutes, students are counted absent.
It is the responsibility of the parent and student to cooperate and communicate with the school on all attendance matters.
Notes need to be turned in within 48 hours of student absence
Email or send notes to attendance office
All notes from parents/guardians should include the following: Full legal name of student - no nicknames please, student's ID number, date(s) of absence, reason for absence, parent's signature, and current date.
Students please review your attendance record weekly. All notes are due to the attendance office two days after the absence. If you have been marked absent by mistake, please have your teacher email the attendance office.
Hours Owed, Make-Up Hours, and Saturday School
In Section 25.092 of the Education code it states that a student may not be given credit for a class unless the student is in attendance for at least 90% of the days a class is offered. This part of the law is commonly referred to as the 90% Rule.
Students are in violation of the 90% Rule after missing 5 or more class periods in one or more classes in a Semester. ALL absences, including excused absences not exempted by the law count toward the 90% Rule.
To be awarded credit, your student must make arrangements with their assistant principal to make up time outside of the normal school hours. If the required hours are not made up within the established time, your student will have to repeat the course. Senior students will not participate in the May graduation ceremony if required hours are not made up prior to graduation day.
The Texas Education Code also requires that a student must meet the 90 percent requirement in order to obtain or renew a driver's license. Students must make up the required time and maintain good attendance for a 6 week period following their loss of credit.
Student can restore held credits by:
Attending Saturday School
Attending before or after school tutorials
Up to 50% of make up hours can be done by volunteering at a non profit organization (requires Assistant Principal pre approval)
*Note if a student has 10 or more days or partial days of unexcused absences, the student is considered truant and making up attendance hours does not eliminate the truancy.
