Plano Middle School Weekly Update
Monday, March 8th - Friday, March 12th
4 Day In-person Learning Survey Update
Illinois 5 Essentials Survey
A parent survey report will be generated if at least 20 percent of parents respond to the survey. Your participation in the parents survey will help us understand the conditions at you child's school and guide improvement. Again, your identity and individual survey responses will be kept completely confidential and will never be connected to you or your child.
Teachers 4th through 12th graders throughout Illinois are taking the teacher and student 5Essentials Survey. School-level 5Essentials Reports will be generated if teachers and/or students meet their 50 percent response-rate thresholds. These research-based reports will be sent to schools and districts in March and will also be included in the State School Report Card, released statewide in the fall.
Please visit https://survey.5-essentials.org/Illinois/ to take the parent survey.

Spring Fishing Club
Fishing Club is a wonderful way to get out of the house and enjoy the great outdoors. Not only do students learn how to fish, but also how to respect and take care of our environment!
All students will be responsible for their own ride to and from Foli Park, while fishing poles and bait will be provided! Social distancing will also be maintained at all times, and students will meet at Foli Park from 3-5pm.
More information and how to sign up: HERE!
