Completing Back-to-School Forms
How to Troubleshoot Incomplete Back to School Forms
On this page
Each year, the Back to School (BTS) Forms are opened prior to the start of school. Some forms are blank, and some have information from the previous year.
Each form is broken down into its own “step” and must be updated by parents with any necessary changes each year. Even if a form's fields are filled out, the system will not recognize it as “completed” until a Complete and Review button is clicked on for the corresponding step. This action works similarly as an electronic signature.
Guardians in Family 1 have to submit the entire form in order to get credit for completion. Many guardians mark all forms “complete” but never submit the packet in the last step.
This article provides essential information and helpful instructions for how to ensure the forms have been completed and the packet has been submitted properly. Please refer to the LISD website for even more Back-to-School resources.

How to Make Updates to Approved Forms
LISD guardians can make changes to submitted Back to School Forms in Family Access by clicking on the 20##/20## Back to School Forms tile with an Approved status along the top. Do NOT click the tile with an “Available” status.
Clicking on a form tile with an “Approved” status will automatically change the status of that form to “In Progress.” The following screenshots are for a high school student in the 2026-2027 school year; the number of steps you see on your forms may vary based on your student's grade level.
The following areas are the most common ones that guardians wish to update:
-
Publication of Student Information: enables guardians to determine whether their student's directory information can be shared for certain purposes
- Students will not be included in their school yearbook unless the District box is checked.
- Student Code of Conduct: requires guardians to read and acknowledge the quick guide of the student handbook, including the Authorized Use Policy (AUP)
- LISD Student Device Program: enables guardians to indicate whether or not they want the student to receive a district-issued device, and if so, whether or not they want to pay for insurance coverage
