We apologize for the inconvenience, but schedule release for secondary campuses will be on August 11th at 4:00 pm for those that have completed the online registration process. If you have not completed the process, you will be unable to view your child's schedule.

As a reminder, our counselors tried tirelessly to ensure all requests were honored. However, there are times in which classes conflict and we weren't able to meet every request. The schedule is extremely tight and changes will be limited. We appreciate your understanding!

The verification process has started. Please ensure that all information is updated and accurate in Skyward. 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.

If you have not yet turned in proof of your child's seventh-grade vaccinations (Tdap & MCV), your child is delinquent according to Texas State Requirements. Please email your school nurse at hshuttlesworth@lcisd.net with proof of vaccination prior to the start of school or your child could be at risk for withdrawal from school.

LBMS PTO is excited for the 2023-24 school year. We have some exciting new things in the works! If you would like to be involved and support your child’s school then come see what we’re all about.
Our first meeting is on Monday August 21st @ 6pm in the LBMS Cafeteria.

Until then you can connect with us by joining our FB page: LBMS PTO or join or GroupMe

If you are too busy to attend meeting but would like to support your child’s school, you can make a $10 or more donation to our VENMO account.

We will also be selling Merchandise items at the Upcoming Orientation days. So come by, say “hi” and buy some fun LBMS swag!

Shorts/skirts/etc. that are cut too short

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