FISD is Going Green

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 to pick up student schedules on the dates listed above. Acceptable proof of residence is a current electric 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, gas, to reduce clutter in the schools, and to address safety concerns, FISD willutilize 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 reenrollment 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 reminders 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. Parents without internet access may utilize the public library or ask school staff for assistance in printing items of interest.
