FISD is Going Green - Infosnap
Frisco ISD is implementing an exciting new enrollment system this year
from Infosnap. In an effort to reduce paper waste, improve accuracy,
increase efficiency, and save parents time, we will be replacing some of our
previous paper practices with online alternatives. This new process will
begin in the 2010-2011 school year.
Parents will receive a letter and/or email from Frisco ISD with a unique
website login and information on how to complete the required forms
online. These forms will be required for student schedule pick up at
the secondary level and to finalize class placement at the elementary
level. This letter from Frisco ISD will not arrive until late July. Parents will
be instructed to go online to fill out the information required annually. At
the end of the online session, a signature page will be generated. This form
MUST be signed and delivered to the school office along with a current
proof of residence before August 18th. Acceptable proof of residence is a
current electric, gas or water bill, lease or rental agreement or contract on a
new home. Parents without internet access at home can utilize the public
library; schools will also be providing opportunities for access and a district
night for assistance and support will be communicated in the letter.
In another effort to save paper, reduce clutter in the schools, and to
address safety concerns, FISD will utilize a community website folder for
distribution of ALL non-school related materials from youth-oriented groups
in lieu of distribution tables at each campus. With the above referenced online registration and re-enrollment process, we believe we will improve
our ability to capture accurate email addresses of all our parents and this
will enable us to more effectively send periodic eminders to link parents to
the electronic folder displaying information on community, youth-oriented
services and programs. This practice will take place with the beginning of
the 2010-2011 school year. New information will be updated on the FISD
website at the end of June.

CHANGE IN MEDICATION POLICY for 2010-11
The district shall not purchase oral nonprescription medication for students beginning with the 2010-2011 school year.
In order for students to receive district-approved oral nonprescription medication (Tylenol, Advil, Benadryl, Tums, Cough Drops, & Throat Strips) while at school, the parent/guardian must complete & sign the Request for Administration of Medication form & send the age-appropriate medication to school in the original container (smallest container available) & must be properly labeled. The nurse may give up to 10 doses of the district-approved oral nonprescription medications. When students take 10 doses of a medication, the parent/guardian will be notified a doctor’s note will be needed in order to continue to give the student the medication.
All other nonprescription medications must have a doctor’s note and must be in the original container & must be properly labeled. The parent/guardian must complete & sign the Request for Administration of Medication form & send the medication to school.
All prescription medication that cannot be scheduled for other than school hours may be given at school. We must receive a completed & signed Request for Administration of Medication form from the parent/guardian. The medication must be in the original container & must be properly labeled.
A list of medications that are used in the school clinic is available on request from the school nurse. Please contact your school nurse with any questions.

Borchardt Named to TBEC Honor Roll for 2009
Ruth Borchardt Elementary has AGAIN been named to the Texas Business and Education Coalition (TBEC) Honor Roll for 2009. Of the more than 8,000 Texas public schools, less than 4% receive this honor. The TBEC Honor Roll is the most prestigious award for sustained, academic excellence in Texas. It recognizes schools that have demonstrated three years of consistent, high performance in all subjects compared to other schools serving similar student populations. TBEC Honor Roll schools have the highest percentage of students performing at the state's most rigorous standard, commended, in every subject. Through the dedicated work of both teachers and students, Borchardt have earned a place on the Honor Roll for the second year in a row! Way to go RBE!!!
Have you Filled a Bucket Today?
Ask your child this question and see what they say. Mrs. Whisenant started a new program about kindness and happiness and how when you say and do nice things for one another it makes you both feel good and therefore, "fills each others buckets". There will be weekly drawings for "bucket fillers" all year long.
