Doing our Part to Lessen Infectious Disease
What can I do to mitigate infectious disease?
- Monitor your and your child’s health.
- Practice frequent hand washing and/or hand sanitizing.
- Rub hands vigorously with soap and water for 20 seconds.
- Use 60 percent alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue and throw the tissue in the trashcan:
- If no tissue is available, cough/sneeze into the crook of your arm and wash your hands.
- Consider wearing a face-covering when inside and around large groups.
- Stay away from others who are sick.
- Socially distance as feasible.
- Stay home if you are sick.
- Report any concerns of illness to the campus nurse immediately
This information is here on the Allen ISD Website under Quick Links 2021-2022: Health and Safety FAQ.

Allen ISD Student Device Program
Empower 1:1 Student Device Program
The Allen Empower 1:1 student program was launched during the first semester of the new school year, 2021-2022. The program's goal is to provide a device for learning to each student attending school in the district. More detailed information will be communicated to parents after the school year starts.
Device Fee Information
To support the sustainability of the program, Allen ISD will institute a non-refundable device insurance fee of $30.00 per year for accidental damage protection insurance. The insurance program will cover the costs of repairs and replacement of parts stemming from unintentional damage that otherwise would be charged based on the fee schedule specified on the table below.
The fee will be payable via School Pay, in installments, as the devices are distributed (free and reduced lunch device fee scales will be available). Payment of the insurance fee is required prior to students receiving their device.
Note: intentional damage or loss of a device is not covered under the insurance policy, and thus will be charged according to the Empower 1-1 Device Insurance Fee Information & Intentional Damage_Loss Fee Schedule table below.
