There are additional important reminders about testing:

• If you are an FISD+ student, you MUST report to your home campus to take your EOC test. Failure to do so will result in removal from FISD+ for upcoming school years.
• When you are done testing, you will need to arrange to be picked up as you will not be staying on campus when testing is over.
• All students who are participating in EOC testing will need to do an asynchronous "check in" for attendance for FISD+ by 11:59 on test day.

We had quite a bit of affirmations for the month of March. Great job students, it is great to see all of the great things you are accomplishing. Several students recieved multiple shout outs from different teachers! Keep up the good work as we enjoy celebrating more of what we want to see.

We are encouraging your to sign up for Remind 101 as a form of communication. This will enable us to send you reminders about upcoming FISD+ things.

For students to participate in dual credit or post-secondary college courses at a public university in Texas, students must satisfy college-readiness requirements. Students, who may not have a PSAT, SAT, or ACT score that meets this need, would have to take and pass the TSIA 2 exam. Frisco ISD is offering free, online, asynchronous TSIA 2 test preparation courses through Edgenuity. To self-enroll and begin the modules, high school students would need to follow these instructions.

Did you know Frisco ISD offers free online tutorials in the evenings as well as during our daily advisory time? Students who are struggling with a concept or assignment can log on at certain times. Check out the schedule. These tutorials are designed to further support our students and campus teachers, who continue to be available for in-person assistance. Talk to your child about whether this opportunity may be a helpful option to support their learning.

A Verification of Enrollment (VOE) is needed to obtain a Texas driver’s permit or license. VOE requests can be made through the student portal. The automated system allows FISD to deliver verification of enrollments 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays and summer. Learn more here.
