Wow, last week was a blast! We had such a great time on opening day. The staff and students were so excited that by the time Friday arrived, it all seemed like a blur. As you may have heard, Frisco Lone Star High School was featured prominently in the Dallas Morning News on opening day. The DMN was here for a large part of the day and they were able to capture history in the making. There is even a short video clip of the Ranger staff and students during the opening day picture. Click here to see the short video.

Now that we're fully back into the swing of things, we'd like to pass on just a few important items that are helpful this time of year:

• All students are expected to be on time and prepared for class when they arrive. A list of recommended supplies can be found below. School begins at 8:45am.
• Student drop off and pick up is in the front of the building only. This is safety issue and we ask that you please help us keep all Rangers safe by following this policy.
• Most questions regarding district or campus policies, procedures, or requirements can be found in the FISD Student Code of Conduct (SCOC) and/or the LSHS Addendum to the SCOC. As always, feel free to send an email or call us if you need assistance or have questions.

We also like to remind you of some important upcoming dates of interest for the Lone Star Nation:

• 9/6 - No School (Labor Day Holiday)
• 9/16 - Progress Reports (check Home Access Ctr)
• 9/27 - LSHS Meet the Teacher Night @ 6:30pm

Unlike middle and elementary schools that publish supply lists that they provide to parents, high schools don't have supply lists in this tradtional sense. Because the student schedules are based on their own course selection and vary greatly, it would be impossible to create one supply list that would encompass the needs of all students. However, there are some supplies that are considered essential to the learning process and we have put together a list of those items below. Please keep in mind this IS NOT a complete and exhaustive list and you are not REQUIRED to buy these items. But, we have been getting many calls, so we thought we'd put together a list of the basics that are needed:

Recommended Supplies:

binder

paper

pencils

pens

markers

pencil sharpener

scissors

stapler/staples

glue/glue sticks

ruler

paper clips

flash drive

Please find the lists below for the various art classes that will be offered at Lone Star HS during the 2010-11 school year.

Please note that the Asel Art Supply is no longer stocking supplies in the store. However, the supplies may be ordered through the Lone Star art department. Please send a check or money order made out to Lone Star HS. The amounts for each art supply kit varies by course and can be found below. Checks should be brought the first week of school and given to Mrs. Fronterhouse. Asel Art will then deliver the art kits to Lone Star HS.

For questions regarding the art lists, art classes or art supplies, please feel free to contact LSHS Art Teacher Jennifer Fronterhouse at FronterJ@friscoisd.org.
