Welcome back, Bullfrogs!

A new school year is just around the corner, and we want to help make sure your family is ready for a successful start to the 2026–2027 school year.

From registration and transportation to school supplies, health requirements, schedules, technology, meals, and important dates, there are several things to take care of before the first day of school. We've put everything together in one convenient location to help families prepare with confidence.

Use this checklist to get ready.

Work through each section below and check off the items as you complete them. You'll also find important district and campus information, helpful resources, and links to make preparing for the new school year as easy as possible.

    Lake Worth ISD only permits Clear Backpacks for students. This initiative is to help ensure the safety of our students and staff. All sporting events at Kittrell Stadium, Lake Worth ISD gyms, and fields will require a clear bag. 

    We are committed to providing a safe and secure learning environment at Lake Worth ISD. As part of our continued efforts to ensure a safe learning environment for all students, we will require clear backpacks for all students in Pre-K through 12th grade. This proactive measure is just one of the many safeguards we have in place to protect our students and staff.
