Technology
- Has your child been logging into webdesk.pisd.edu at home? Students can access academic games and activities through the Webdesk website. To login, simply go to "webdesk.pisd.edu". Students login using their Plano ISD email account "firstname.lastname.1@mypisd.net" and enter the password Red.1234.
- Once logged in, click on the "My Class" icon at the bottom of the page. Select "My Class" on the next page followed by "Apps" located on the left hand side of the webpage.
- Students can access great apps such as Dreambox or Teach Your Monster to Read from home. These are great resources that can help your child work on their math and reading skills at home!
