A "New to Texas" breakfast hosted by counselors aligns with Vandeventer Middle School's mission statement "to positively impact and advance each student every day" by fostering a positive first impression and creating a welcoming environment. This event helps new students and families feel a sense of belonging, which is crucial for their emotional well-being and academic success. By building these connections early, the school ensures that each student feels supported and ready to thrive in their new environment. 

Having Vandeventer Middle School cheerleaders assist a feeder elementary school with their fundraising effort aligns with the school's vision statement "to foster one’s greatest potential" by providing them with opportunities to develop leadership, teamwork, and community service skills. Through their involvement, they grow beyond the classroom, learning how to positively contribute to their community while nurturing their own potential as leaders and role models.

When students make a threat to a campus, even via social media, the District and campus move quickly to address them. Watch Frisco Police discuss why 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. The punishment can be as severe as a third-degree felony, punishable by up to $10,000 and two to 10 years in prison. 

Frisco ISD supports the Frisco Police Department's full prosecution of any individual who threatens harm to our students, staff, and campuses.

• Texas Penal Code 22.07 Terroristic Threat

• Texas Education Code 37.125 Exhibition, use, or threat of exhibition or use of firearms

Here are three key reasons why student attendance is crucial:

1. Academic Achievement: Regular attendance keeps students on track with lessons and assignments, leading to better understanding and improved grades.

2. Skill Development: Consistent attendance builds essential skills like reading, writing, and problem-solving, which are vital for long-term success.

3. Socialization: Regular school attendance allows students to interact with peers, fostering important social skills such as teamwork, communication, and empathy.

Frisco ISD is committed to our students' success and looks forward to seeing everyone at school every day!
