Gold Cards for Senior Citizens
The Gold Card allows those who are age 60 and older and live within the FISD enrollment boundaries to get free admission to most District athletic and fine arts events. The 2023-24 Gold Cards can be picked up at the FISD Athletic Office (7210 Stadium Lane). A picture ID with a home address must be shown in order to receive a Gold Card. More information is available here.
Reporting an Absence
All absences, excused and unexcused, count toward the state’s compulsory attendance law. When a student's attendance rate drops below 90%, the student may earn credit for the class or a final grade by completing a plan approved by the principal - as long as their attendance rate remains above 75%. Students below 75% are not eligible for the principal plan. All absences can easily be submitted in the form at the top of our campus website. Learn more about the attendance policy.
We’re Here for Your Family
Our campus has a school support specialist ready to provide personalized, hands-on support in securing assistance from community organizations or government agencies. The specialists ensure students’ basic needs are met, allowing them to focus on learning in the classroom. Contact your campus counselor to initiate the process if you’d like help addressing needs related to mental health, food insecurity, medical and legal services, and much more.
Report Concerns with STOPit
As a reminder, students and parents can report incidents of bullying or harassment online using our District’s anonymous reporting system called STOPit. Learn about STOPit and how to report.
FISD collaborates with the City of Frisco, City of McKinney, Town of Little Elm, and the City of Plano Police and Fire/EMS to keep our schools safe. As partners, safety is a top priority, and our campus relies on the continued support of students, parents, and the community to keep schools safe. By submitting a report, campus administrators receive a notification regarding student and parent concerns.
Access the Elementary Curriculum Outline
Frisco ISD parents can access the curriculum outline and pacing guides used Districtwide for each grade level. The curriculum outlines are created and revised each year by District educators and are rooted in the statewide curriculum standards provided by the Texas Education Agency called the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS.) Access the curriculum and pacing page.
Reminder: Your Words Matter
Frisco ISD collaborates with local police to keep schools safe. We urge parents to remind their children that words matter and can have serious consequences. https://youtu.be/aEY6FaSC6EE
Campus Multi-Tiered System of Support
Each FISD campus has several supports in place to ensure each student receives personalized attention and assistance to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. The comprehensive MTSS webpage has resources to empower staff and parents with valuable information about the different tiers of support to enhance collaboration between schools and families. Please explore the valuable resources and information aimed at empowering families to make informed decisions.
Winter Weather Procedures
FISD closely monitors weather forecasts in anticipation of possible ice and/or snow accumulation. During and after a weather event, the District coordinates closely with the City of Frisco and other area emergency management officials to determine the status of local road conditions. This information is used to make a final decision about whether to open schools no later than 5:30 a.m. each school day. If FISD does not communicate with you regarding a school closing or delayed start, there are no changes to the regular school day.
Frisco ISD will notify families via email and text in the event of a school closure or delayed start. The District and campus websites will also be updated with alerts of school closures, as well as the District’s Facebook and Twitter accounts. This information will also be shared with local television and radio stations. Parents and staff can ensure you are subscribed to text messages from Frisco ISD by texting “Y” or “Yes” to 67587.
COVID-19 Absences
For the 2023-24 school year, students with a positive COVID test will receive up to five excused absences per occurrence. Parents must submit a picture or copy of a positive COVID test and students quarantined without a positive COVID test may be excused with a parent note for each day absent. These parent notes will count toward the eight parent notes allowed by Frisco ISD. All absences will be considered when working through 90% attendance for credit and should be submitted in the form at the top of our campus website.
Check Out the Community Folder
The community folder on the District website contains information about goods and services that may interest the FISD community. You can find everything from discounts on kids’ camps to volunteer opportunities.
Sign up for Emergency Alerts
Frisco ISD utilizes the School Messenger text messaging service on a limited basis to communicate timely information such as school closures/delays or campus emergencies. Parents, not sure if you are signed up? Opt-in by texting “Y” or “Yes” to 67587. This system is maintained separately from Remind, which some teachers and coaches use to text message students and parents.
Get a Background Check and Explore Volunteer Opportunities
FISD Board Policy requires each volunteer, chaperone, and/or mentor to undergo a background check annually before working with students. Frisco ISD uses VOLY, a volunteer management system, to complete background checks and to post volunteer opportunities. To work with students on campus, you must create a VOLY account by visiting https://friscoisd.voly.org.
You will be prompted to complete the background check during your VOLY account creation process. Keep an eye on your inbox for your background check approval (the process can take up to 3-5 business days). VOLY will send you customized emails with opportunities that may interest you for volunteering. If you need help, email volunteer@friscoisd.org, call 469-633-6860, or complete a ticket through the VOLY support system.
Breakfast & Lunch in the School Cafeteria
The campus café welcomes students to enjoy a complete breakfast and lunch every school day. Breakfast is $2 for all students. Lunch is $2.75 for elementary and $3.75 for middle and high school students. Families with low household income are encouraged to apply for free and reduced meal benefits.

We Love Our SRO
Frisco ISD has a long-standing partnership with local police departments to ensure students can focus on their studies in a safe environment. At Boals Elementary, we are thankful for Student Resource Officer, Officer Lo. Officer Lo serves our campus through the Frisco Police Department.
