Nurse's News
As the school year comes to a close, we have a few things to do.
-If your child has any medications in the clinic, they need to be picked up no later than 11 am on the 26th. At that time, they will be disposed.
-If your child has a vaccine exemption form, I have forwarded it to the school they will be attending next year.
-If you have a 6th grader, they will not be allowed to begin school if they have not had their Meningococcal or TDap booster.

Student Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Policy Change
The Empower 1:1 student device program has seen a successful implementation in Allen ISD, with each student in the District having access to a device for instruction. With this implementation complete and with security in mind, Allen ISD will discontinue the use of the BYOD computer device policy for students starting in the school year 2023-2024. This means students will not be able to use their own computer devices on campus when the new school year starts.
The Empower 1:1 student device program has been established and provides a device for instruction to each student in the district.
District devices are set up to access all the instructional and testing applications that are required for student use by grade level.
Security and filtering policies are inherently more consistent, manageable and enforceable in district provided devices.
The increase in online testing makes it more important than ever for students to be familiar with devices provided by the district in particular because students cannot test on their own devices.
Technical support by both district IT staff and teachers as needed, is more effective and streamlined when students are utilizing district devices.
Consistency of devices helps to minimize classroom downtime due to connectivity or usability issues BYODs may have.
Allen ISD has implemented logistical processes as part of the Empower 1:1 program to make sure devices for instruction are available on campus by the start of school (distribution dates vary by campus and grade level), effectively providing district devices to all students from the beginning of the year.
Due to all these reasons stated above, starting in the school year 2023-2024, the BYOD network will be unavailable for use by the students in Allen ISD campuses.
Important information for students and families:
Campuses will provide information to families and students regarding the dates and locations to pick up their district issued devices at the beginning of the year.
Use of technology in Allen ISD requires adherence to the district’s Responsible Use Policy and Student Code of Conduct provided for signature as part of the back to school forms.
