Happy Thursday! I hope everyone has had a wonderful week. We've had a full week of greatness. Many of you saw our awesome Plano Sr. High students opening car doors and participating at the Friday assembly. We love supporting our feeder pattern schools.
Thank you to everyone who supported our PTA at Chuy's this week! We are so lucky to have such a hard working PTA who goes above and beyond to support our students and staff.
Don't forget next week is the WatchDog night. We'd love to see any potential WatchDogs. You may see the flier below for more information. We are very excited to get this kicked off this year.
Take care,

Elementary PACE Referral Information 2022-2023
PACE provides services for students who require academically gifted enrichment services and have demonstrated the need for advanced, differentiated instruction. PACE at the elementary level is a weekly pull out program in which students are removed from the general education classroom to work under the guidance of a gifted specialist. The time spent in the PACE program will vary according to the grade level of the student. For more detailed information about the PACE program, please refer to the following link:
https://www.pisd.edu/giftededucation
Students in K-5 are assessed in the first semester (fall) to determine placement in the second semester. District-wide CogAT tests administered to first, third and fifth grade students are part of the data used to determine the need for gifted services for these three grades. All other grades will be administered the district approved battery of PACE assessments in the fall.
Students may be referred for gifted services by teachers, parents, principals, counselors, or by the students themselves. Students are assessed at their home campus during the school day.
Referral packets must be completed and returned to the gifted specialist at your child’s school by the appropriate deadline listed below.
ELEMENTARY REFERRAL DEADLINES for PACE ASSESSMENT
K – 5th grade referrals are due October 21, 2022. (5:00 PM)
Students new to Plano who received gifted services in a previous district should contact the campus gifted specialist to submit assessment scores from your previous school for review and consideration.
Students may only test once a year.
For more detailed information about the PACE program, please refer to the link below. Online referral forms will be available at this site at the beginning of each school year. If you prefer a hard copy, please contact the campus gifted specialist. https://www.pisd.edu/pace
