School Closures & Delays
Closures or delays are rare but sometimes necessary to ensure the safety of Frisco ISD students and staff. Please keep your contact information up to date with the campus data clerk.
FISD works closely with the National Weather Service, the City of Frisco and other area emergency management officials to make informed decisions regarding school closures or delayed openings. Learn more about how FISD makes these determinations and prepares for weather-related emergencies.
Communications & Alerts
Frisco ISD makes decisions regarding closures or delays no later than 5:30 a.m. If no announcement is made, schools operate on a regular schedule.
Direct Notification: Parents and staff receive alerts via email, text and a phone call.
Online Updates: Information is posted on Facebook, X and at friscoisd.org/alerts.
Local Media: Updates are shared with local television and radio stations.
Closure & Delay Protocols
During inclement weather, parents may keep students home or pick them up early, unless a Shelter-in-Place is active. Please report all absences via the 'Report an Absence' tab on the campus website.
Closures: All classes and after-school/evening activities are canceled unless otherwise noted.
Delays: When enacted, schools typically open on a 2-hour delay schedule.
Early release: Frisco ISD typically does not release school early due to supervision concerns.
After-School & Evening Events: Inter-district activities may proceed if conditions improve. However, if weather worsens, FISD may modify or cancel after-school events. Updates will be posted on the website and official channels.
Student Safety: Students should never be left unattended at a campus before staff arrives. Please confirm school status prior to drop-off during winter weather.
Calendar Impacts
Make-Up Days: The school calendar includes reserved make-up days. If unused, these remain student/staff holidays.
High School A/B Schedule: If a day is missed, students return following the published A/B calendar.
