Fall 2020 Schedules Go Live
Due to the unprecedented complexity of creating student schedules this school year, we cannot make schedule changes at this time. Additional information will be forthcoming soon to address incorrect course placement.
Logging In, Accessing Classes and Materials
Attendance
Students who log in to the Plano ISD WebDesk each day and engage in teacher-assigned learning apps (including, but not limited to Google Classroom) are considered “present” and will not be marked absent. Secondary students will need to login to each class (period) and/or complete each daily class assignment or they will be marked absent. This absence can be resolved if the student engages in daily learning assigned by their teachers via the Plano ISD WebDesk by 11:59 p.m. that same day.
Students must attend their class 90% of the time to receive credit in that class, regardless of them receiving a passing grade. (For secondary students, this means 90% attendance in each class.)
The teacher defines if a student was “engaged in learning” or not. Students need to show “engagement in learning” prior to the end of each day to receive attendance credit for that day. A student cannot simply login and logout each day and expect to be counted as “present.” The student must be engaged in teacher-assigned learning prior to midnight to be counted as “present” for that school day.
Day by Day Schedule
Then beginning August 17, we will continue to follow our same bell schedule, but students will alternate between synchronous and asychronous portions of the day.

I. Student Registration and Schedules
Parents and guardians may now log into the PISD Parent Portal at https://parentview.pisd.edu to complete the required forms necessary to obtain your student's schedule. You will be notified by enews and School Messenger when schedules are available for release closer to the start of school. Students will be able to view and print their schedules online through Parent Portal at that time.
II. Clearing Holds
Once you have completed all forms in Parent Portal, you need to click on fees to pay for an ID. If there are any holds such as Chromebook/textbook fines, library fees, you may pay online with a credit card. These holds should be cleared in order to check out a Chromebook. (See dates below. More info to come.)
For missing paperwork, etc., you will need to contact the campus to resolve questions.
You can update residency by providing a current gas, water, electric bill or lease in the parent’s name to document an address change.
These can be faxed to 469.752.9423 or scanned and emailed to Debbie.Weiss@pisd.edu. Please include the student’s name and id#.
By setting up and updating your Parent Portal account you will gain access to your student's grades, attendance, assessment information, and eNews. If you need technology assistance, please contact the help desk at 469-752-8767 or at parent.portal@pisd.edu (email must include student name, student ID, and campus).
More information regarding Annual Registration may be found at https://www.pisd.edu/Page/17458.
We have provided some helpful handouts to get you through the schedule release on-line paperwork:
