News from Plano Regional Day School Program for the Deaf
Students Are Busy
This is a busy semester with learning, preparing for the Spring Show in March, Academic Bowl, Imagination Texas, Math Counts, and of course upcoming STAAR testing. We thank you for the support you provide to your students and to our staff.
Thanks for your responses to our parent survey. It is not too late to fill out a survey and send it to your child's deaf education teacher or email it to me. Your responses help us with our Peer Review process. Through the Peer Review process we work to make improvements to our program. To access the form go to https://sites.google.com/a/pisd.edu/plano-rdspd-parent-page/calendar-of-events/parent-survey.
