Faculty Meeting
Congratulations to Brian Coatney
This year Brian was elected PRESIDENT-ELECT of the organization! It is actually a three-year term going from president-elect to president to past president!
We are incredibly proud of Brian and his representation of Plano Senior High amongst his peers. He is respected and honored across the state!
Congratulations to Rodney Belcher
This weekend he will be back at that state tournament to be recognized for that award AND for being named NATIONAL COACH of the YEAR!
Congratulations, Rodney.
From the Registrar
TEACHERS:
The 3rd 9 week grading period will end Friday, March 8th – right before Spring Break.
Your grades will not be picked up until Wednesday MARCH 20th
Report cards will be in 2nd period teachers’ mailboxes on Friday the 22nd.
Two items of note:
a. Incompletes from the first semester should be cleared by now. I have sent emails to all teachers with outstanding “I” grades. If you have not responded please do so now. If you aren’t sure, please contact me and I’ll check the status.
b. The Final Class rank and GPA for Seniors will be run at the beginning of April so please encourage any seniors with Incompletes from 3rd 9 weeks (or before) to complete their work asap.
Reminders
Please remember to have students turn in their phones before taking a bathroom pass.
Thank you.
