Students will be going to take their pictures on either August 20 or 21, depending on their teacher's schedule. Students will be told which day they go to have their picture taken later this week. Any student that is in a concurrent/Collin College class will get their pictures taken before school or during lunch.
Seniors that missed getting their picture taken over the summer will be sent to the gym to take their picture during their history class on August 24 and 27. Your history teacher will tell you what day you will go down. Any senior that does not have a history class, needs to go during zero hour or before school. Any student that is in a concurrent/Collin College class will get their pictures taken before school or during lunch. Students will be given information when taking their picture about how to purchase pictures. If you have any questions, please see visit with your history teacher or sub school office.

We will follow the abbreviated schedule on the form, which includes a general session in the gymnasium at 6:15 p.m. We look forward to seeing you Wednesday, August 29.
3. Student Expectations at Extracurricular Events- Students this is a reminder as you start to attend extracurricular events that the student code of conduct still applies when attending events after hours and at other PISD sites. Any violation of the student code of conduct will be handled just as if it were a regular school day. This includes events at other schools or district sites as well. Some violations could jeopardize your status as a student here at Plano East. Please also remember that we expect everyone to have a good time at these events; however, we are going to cheer for our team and not heckle the other team or referees. We need to lead by example and win with class! If you have any questions, please see an administrator.
