- The 4th grade team (and Danielle)! They are collaborative and helpful at every turn. I’m so lucky to work with them!
- Shout out to Janie, Kendra, Marlon and Joyce for helping out in the first grade classrooms during the start of the school year. We’ve really appreciate their help with MAP testing and getting the first grade students into the routine.
- Kendra for her help with my first grade team with technology support and guidance. We appreciate her so much!
- Shout out to you and Diane for all your help and support with student behaviors (Colton) during the beginning of this school year. I’ve really appreciated the fact that you all have been on top of it and helped to get things rolling quickly.
- Shout out to Melody for all of her support and help in my classroom during the start of the school year. She’s been so supportive of all of us in first grade.

Thank you so much to Sarah Hartman and all of the 4th grade team members during lunch duty this past week. They were so helpful with 3rd grade when teachers were gone during extended planning. Sarah was so tentative to one of our students when he was feeling ill. We appreciate you!

Important Info to Know
- Please access Dreambox through Webdesk.
- When sending home information regarding Dreambox, please use our Plano ISD parent letter located on the planner. Please do not use the parent letter and log in cards located on your Teacher Dashboard on Dreambox. We have created a School Code Information Sheet for you to easily access your campus code. Parent letter and school codes are linked HERE.
- It is encouraged that students spend 15-20 minutes 3-4 times each week working in Dreambox. Encourage teachers to work with students on completing lessons, not just time in the program. Dreambox is an adaptive program, and when students abandon lessons and have multiple lessons "open", the program generates additional lessons for students to select on the content they abandoned.
- For 3rd grade teachers, if a student’s background is still a primary “environment”, there are directions on the PISD Hotspot page on how to change the environment. This will not change the content the student is working on mastering, but will update the "environment" to match the environment of the other students in the class.
