Technology Device Deployment for Virtual Students-January 13th, 2021
Mobile Device Deployment – VIRTUAL STUDENTS ONLY
Student/Parent Steps Before Your Deployment Date on: January 13, 2021 (11:00 AM to 8:00 PM)
Deployment Location: Mansfield Center for the Performing Arts, 1110 W. Debbie Lane, Mansfield, 76063
You will park and enter the building at the Main Tower
- If you were issued a district iPad or Chromebook and it’s lost/missing/stolen, contact your campus technician or campus administration immediately to complete a lost or stolen report.
- If you were issued a district iPad or Chromebook, complete and attach the “device return form” to the device. (Separate document attached)
- Make sure you know your device passcode and student ID number.
- Clean your device and charger.
- Even if you were issued a Chromebook earlier this year, please bring it and the charger to exchange for a new Chromebook.
A new ChromeBook will NOT be issued until the district iPad or Chromebook is returned during deployment or a lost/missing/stolen report has been filed in advance.
Student/Parent Steps On Your Deployment Date:
- Bring your cleaned district-issued device and charger with the completed device return form attached to the device to your scheduled deployment. You will receive an email and notification from your home campus for deployment dates and location.
- There will be 2 main stations for the deployment: (1) Device return, and (2) ChromeBook distribution. (An area will be designated to report a lost/stolen device, but this will slow down your experience. It’s in your best interest to report a lost/missing/stolen device well in advance of the deployment day)
Student/Parent Information After Your Deployment Date:
- If you were unable to attend your scheduled deployment date:
- the campus technician assigned to your home campus will schedule a pick-up at the home campus later.
- Or a make-up day will be scheduled
- If your device becomes broken/lost /stolen, contact your Campus Support Technician immediately.
- If you need your password reset, call the Student Help Desk line at 817-299-2799, or contact your Campus Support Technician.
- If you need assistance accessing or using educational software, please contact your teacher.

Safety Violation Procedures-Please Read!
According to The Tarrant County Health Department, COVID-19 numbers are steadily increasing. The Community Spread Level is now substantial. Our number one priority at Icenhower is to keep our students and staff safe. Therefore, we are going to implement our campus Safety Violation Procedures. Students who are not adhering to safety rules on campus as it relates to the spread of COVID-19 after receiving warnings will be documented and allowed the opportunity to correct the behavior. After multiple offenses, the student will continue their learning in the virtual setting. Please talk to your Husky Pups about the importance of being safe. We're in this together!
Reminder about Masks, Cell Phone Use, and Dress Code
Masks
We are seeing a handful of students who continue to be intentionally defiant with wearing their masks and following safety procedures. Masks are non-negotiable and MUST be worn by all students! There are discipline actions that are part of our student code of conduct, and they will be enforced if students choose not to comply with the non-negotiable rule. Bandanas and masks with valves are NOT allowed.
Cell Phones/Devices and Earbuds
We are starting to see more students abuse their technology by having it out without permission or having earbuds in while in the halls. Please remind your child of the technology policy, and the consequences that occur when a device is taken up when it is used without permission.
Leggings
Remember that leggings are not permitted unless a top is worn that allows the fingertips to hit the bottom.
Sagging
Sagging is not permitted.
Early Release Days-February 19th and April 9th
Grab and Go lunches will be served on these days. Here are the menus:
Pre-K & Elementary: Yogurt & Muffin Box “Lunchable” style
Intermediate & Middle School & High Schools: Steak Fingers w/ Chips served in a Sack
After School Tutorials begin January 19, 2021-SIGN UP IS CLOSED
Sign up is now closed for our after school tutorials. If you missed the deadline but would still like to participate, please contact the school.
Credit Recovery Begins January 19th
Please contact us if you have questions.
Change for Absence Protocol for In-Person Students
Please note that beginning Wednesday, Nov. 4, the beginning of the Third Six Weeks grading period, students who have selected in-person instruction will only be counted present when they are physically in class unless they have been quarantined due to COVID-19.
This means that in-person students will no longer be able to turn in assignments by 11:59 p.m. of that day to be counted present. They must be physically present in class to avoid an absence.
Quarantined students will be able to follow current practices to gain attendance for days they are quarantined.
Students enrolled in the MISD Virtual Learning Academy will continue to follow their current attendance practices.

No Visitors Allowed in the Building
If your child forgets his/her lunch and/or any materials needed for their learning, please follow the following procedures:
- Ring the Bell to speak to someone in the front office
- Let them know you are there to drop off your child's lunch and/or materials needed for learning
- Leave your item(s) on a table in the foyer with your child's name on it. It MUST have your child's name on it. Someone will get it off the table and deliver it to your child.
- Exit the building after that. You will not be allowed to come into the front office and/or give your child their item(s).
*This is different than having an appointment and/or being called to come pick up your child due to illness or other circumstances.
We appreciate your cooperation!
