IB World School at Huffman Updates
Daily Updates from District and Huffman- Tuesday, March 24th
Tomorrow is the Last Day for Chromebooks!
We have been given permission to extend Chromebook checkout through tomorrow. We will offer checkout Wednesday, March 25th from 11-1 only. This is during the regularly scheduled meal and pantry time.
We have shortened the time because we have checked out 400 chromebooks already. Some have opted out of picking one up so that leaves less than 86 chromebooks left on campus! We are at a over 80% of our students receiving Chrombooks from Huffman!!!
After 1:00 tomorrow the building will be completely closed even for teachers to pick up supplies!
Meals and pantry items will continue to be distributed from 11-1 every day.
Thanks for your patience and kindness during this time!
A Message from Sara Bonser:
March 24, 2020
Dear Plano ISD Community,
First, let me say that I am so proud of our students, families and staff as we began at-home learning yesterday. Thank you for all that you are doing to support your children in their learning. I want to bring you up to date on what is happening in Collin County with an announcement made just minutes ago.
The Collin County press conference and Stay-at-Home Order advises businesses to take all necessary actions to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The order takes effect immediately, March 24, and will be in place for the next seven days.
Plano ISD is responding to this order by further limiting district activities to only the essential operations of the school district to help reduce the risk of spread of COVID-19; however, we want to reassure you of the things you can still expect of our school district. While all campuses and other district facilities will be closed during this period, Plano ISD will continue implementing the following essential activities:
- Meal Service will continue at our designated grab-and-go sites.
- Chromebook Distribution will continue through Wednesday, March 25, in order to equip all students with a device for at-home remote learning. Chromebooks need to be picked up at your student’s school as soon as possible. It is essential for each student to have a device for online learning. Contact your campus today if you have not already done so to schedule a time to check out a device for your student.
- Remote Learning will continue allowing students and teachers to participate in online learning while observing this Stay-at-Home Order.
Even during this Stay-at-Home Order, Plano ISD is dedicated to ensuring that our students continue receiving meals and have the resources they need to continue their education at home. If you have any questions, please contact your campus or email us at askPISD@pisd.edu.
Please take care of yourselves and your families during this time. Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Sara Bonser
Superintendent
