Donors Choose
Over the years, the items in Dragon Centers have been well loved by our students. Replacing these items can be expensive. In hopes of continuing the love for this generation and the next, we are looking to update and add to the imaginative play options via Donors Choose. Our first project is to replace and expand our play food options.
To help we ask you to please share this link via your social media - https://www.donorschoose.org/project/foods-from-around-the-world/6586923/
Thanks for your support in creating life-long memories for your child in kindergarten.

Referrals for PACE
PACE serves students who, based upon a preponderance of evidence gathered during the assessment process, perform at or show the potential to perform at or above the second standard deviation from the mean on standardized ability and achievement tests. After reviewing the data and information for each candidate, decisions are made on an individual basis by a trained campus committee. The district does not place a 'cap' on PACE enrollment. Plano ISD is unable to use assessments conducted outside of a school environment such as that conducted by a private counselor or clinician when making decisions for Plano ISD students. Elementary students are assessed in the first semester for services beginning in the spring semester.
Access the Online Referral Form at this link: PACE/Gifted Elementary Referral (google.com). Paper copies of referral forms (English & Spanish) will be available at each campus upon request. Referral Forms are due on October 21st by 5:00 PM. Please contact Meg Keierleber at meg.keierleber@pisd.edu for more information.

Changes in Transportation
If you have something come up and need to make a change after the school day has started. Contact the front office, at 469-752-1102. Teachers are busy working during the day and may not be able to check their email or answer the phone. Contacting the office will assure you the message was received and your child will go home the appropriate way.
Water Bottles
Shoes for PE
Snacks
Also, we ask that you do not put their snack in their lunch boxes. Putting their snack separately, helps them easily identify what is meant to be a snack and cuts down on confusion.
