Action Required: Routine Health Services Consent


Starting Sept. 1, 2025, in order for your child to be attended to by nurses, athletic trainers, and school counselors for routine health services like physical and mental health, parents must complete a Routine Health Services Consent Form for each child.

Why? On June 20, 2025, the Governor of Texas signed Senate Bill 12 (SB 12) into law.
  • As part of SB 12, Texas public school districts are now required to seek consent from parents prior to providing any health services to students.
What does the law say? Under SB 12, public schools must receive parental consent annually before providing even simple or routine health services to students. Learn more on the District website.

Your Words Matter


Parents are encouraged to remind children that while they may be “joking” about having a weapon or threatening harm to a school campus, the punishment by law is, at minimum, a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to $4,000 and up to a year in jail.

When students make a threat to a campus, even via social media, the District and campus move quickly to address them. Frisco ISD is dedicated to maintaining a safe environment in collaboration with local police departments.

Talk to your students: Parents and guardians, please use this as an opportunity to talk to your students about the power of words and the serious impact they can have.

Plan Ahead to Finish Strong


Students benefit from steady attendance through the last day of school, with grades and assessments collected until the final week.

Why it matters: Consistent attendance keeps students academically on track, helps them build strong relationships with peers, and fosters a deeper connection to school. 

Plan ahead: Families are encouraged to schedule trips after the last day of school to avoid missed learning and potential grade impacts.

Stay informed: The academic calendar and grading practices are available on your campus website under the Campus Assessment and Grading link.

Required Notification: HB 121


Texas law now requires school districts to distribute information to parents and guardians about the safe storage of firearms. Below is information from the Texas School Safety Center:

It is unlawful to store, transport or abandon an unsecured firearm in a place where children are likely to be and can obtain access to the firearm. 

Under Texas Penal Code 46.13, a person commits the offense of making a firearm accessible to a child if the child gains access to a readily dischargeable firearm, and the person with criminal negligence:
  • Failed to secure the firearm; or
  • Left the firearm in a place to which the person knew or should have known the child would gain access
The penalty for allowing a child access to a firearm can range from a Class C misdemeanor (punishable by a $500 fine) to a Class A misdemeanor (punishable by a $4000 fine, a year in jail, or a combination of the two).

Texas exempts the purchase of firearm safety equipment from Texas Sales and Use Tax. A gun should be stored unloaded in a safe or locked container, with ammunition stored elsewhere.
