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.
Parents have to submit the entire form in order to get credit for completion. Many parents 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.
