During statewide testing in May, no use of any electronic devices (e.g., cell phone, smartphone/watch camera, PDA, or playback device, etc.) that could allow them to view, access, retain, or transmit information for any state-mandated assessment is allowed by students. Only students who use an electronic device for documented medical purposes (e.g., glucose monitoring, cardiac monitoring) may be allowed access to the device(s) during testing.

FSD3 schools will collect and secure prohibited devices that are not allowable during testing. If a student has an unauthorized device during state testing, this is a testing violation and will result in disciplinary action and may invalidate the student's test.

Safety is a top priority in FSD3.  All students should bring only their books, school supplies and materials to school. The following items should not be on any FSD3 property to include schools, buses, and athletic fields and games.  Student drivers should not have these items in their vehicles on district property as well.

Students Should Not Have the Following Items at School:

• Aerosol Cans Including Deodorants
• Scissors – Except Safety Scissors
• Bandanas
• Cigarettes or Any Tobacco Product
• Matches or Lighters
