As a reminder, our district has a policy for student cell phones and smart watches. While students may have these devices on campus, they must be turned off and put away in backpacks. Please take a moment to review the excerpts from the FISD Student Handbook.
Frisco ISD Student Handbook (excerpts from pages 53-54)
Electronic Devices and Technology Resources (All Grade Levels)
Possession and Use of Personal Telecommunications Devices, Including Cell Phones, and Other Electronic Devices (Apple Watches, Airpods, etc.)
The district permits students to possess personal cell phones for safety purposes; however, these devices must remain turned off during the instructional day.
If a student uses such a device, leaves the device turned on, or displays the device without authorization, it will result in confiscation of the device. The device will only be returned to a parent or guardian.
■ The first offense will result in the phone/watch/tablet being taken up and returned to the parent with a warning for the student/parent.
■ The second offense will result in a $15 fine being required before the phone/watch/tablet is returned to the parent.
■ The third offense will result in an additional $15 fine being required before the phone/watch/tablet is returned to the parent.
■ A fourth offense will result in the phone/watch/tablet being confiscated for the remainder of the school year and an additional $15 fee being required for the return.
Parents will be notified within two school days after the device has been confiscated and may set a time to pick up the device and pay the fine if applicable.
If the parent refuses to pick up the phone or pay the fine, the company whose name and address appear on the device will be notified if applicable.
Any disciplinary action will be in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct. The district is not responsible for damaged, lost, or stolen telecommunications devices.
