New Online Registration Process Coming Soon!
FRISCO ISD 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 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 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.
Pets on School Grounds
No pets are allowed on FISD property while students are at school unless authorized by the principal for a preapproved instructional purpose. Those walking students to or from school with pets will not be allowed on FISD property.

New Laws Concerning Child Passenger Safety Seats
There is a new law effective September 1, 2009, that is listed below regarding child passenger safety seats:
TRC § 545.412. Child Passenger Safety Seat Systems; Offense.
- (a) A person commits an offense if the person operates a passenger vehicle, transports a child who is younger than eight years of age, unless the child is taller than four feet, nine inches, and does not keep the child secured during the operation of the vehicle in a child passenger safety seat system according to the instructions of the manufacturer of the safety seat system.
- (b) An offense under this section is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not more than $25 for the first offense and not more than $250 for a second or subsequent office.
Tickets for this offense cannot be issued until June 1, 2010. Police officers are allowed to issue a warning before that date. However, the old law remains in effect until then and requires children younger than five and less than 36 inches in height be in a child safety seat—and tickets can still be issued for this violation.
