Dress Code Reminder:
As we begin to enter the spring/summer weather season, please help us make sure your student is dressed accordingly for school each day. It is our goal not to have to make parent contact during the school day for a change of clothes to be delivered to the school.

The dress and grooming of students for school is expected to be in keeping with accepted community standards.

3. No tank tops, tube tops, halter type blouses, spaghetti straps or mesh shirts. All see-through blouses must have appropriate attire underneath. There is no three-finger width rule.
4. Shirts should overlap the waistband of skirts, shorts or pants.
5. No yoga or tight spandex pants unless worn with an appropriate top that reaches mid-thigh.

WINTER STORM RELIEF
Plano Police Food Distribution
Saturday, Feb 27, 2021, 10:00 AM
Plano ISD Academy High School, Alma Drive, Plano, TX, USA
FEMA is also giving away $800 in food vouchers and providing assistance for home repairs. Call 800-621-3362 or go to https://www.disasterassistance.gov/ to apply.
You'll need the following to complete your registration:
- Social Security Number (SSN) OR the SSN of a minor child in the household who is a U.S. Citizen, Non-Citizen National or Qualified Alien
- Annual Household Income
- Contact Information (phone number, mailing address, email address*, and damaged home address)
- Insurance Information (coverage, insurance company name, etc.)
- Bank Account Information (if you are eligible to receive financial assistance, the money can be deposited in your account)
Additional information to know:
Please be vigilant! Scammers and thieves are actively posing as FEMA and other assistance programs to steal your information and identity. Please share the following tips for screening whether the emergency assistance is creditable or not:
- Check to make sure the FEMA website you are accessing ends with .gov
- FEMA will NOT text you!
- Don’t trust anyone who offers financial help and then asks for money or personal information. Federal and local disaster workers do not solicit or accept money.
- Resist the pressure to act immediately. Scammers pressure you to provide information immediately, they want you to act before you have time to think.
- Know how scammers will ask you to pay. They often insist that you pay by sending money through a money transfer company or by putting money on a gift card and then giving them the number on the back.
- Stop and talk to someone you trust. Before you do anything else, tell someone - a friend, a family member, a neighbor - what happened. Talking about it could help you realize it’s a scam.
