Chromebook Return Procedures
Starting this Thursday May 18 – Friday May 19 we will begin our end of the year of Chromebook collection from any student wanting to turn it early.
This will be an opportunity for students that have their own device or will not be using their device during final exams to turn in their Chromebook early. This will take place through the English department this Thursday and Friday. May 18th and 19th.
Students needing to retain their Chromebook for final exams will need to turn their Chromebook and charger into their math teacher after their math final exam, or if needed, their 8th period teacher after their final exam.
If students do not turn in a Chromebook or charger, it will remain checked out to them in our inventory system and a hold will be placed on their account for the cost of either the Chromebook or charger until its turned in. $410 for Chromebooks and $27.50 for Chargers.
Vines Green Recycling Club Has Exciting News!
The City of Plano Green School Program had an awards breakfast last Thursday morning at the Environmental Education Center. In about a months’ time we got Vines HS setup for recycling and creating a Green Recycling Club. We were one of the new schools to the program, received Green School Certificated (banner to hang on campus) and cash award (to be used 2023-2024 school year towards our efforts to become a more sustainable campus).
I’m so proud of what our team did and the collaboration between Staff and PTA!! Our student club ambassadors did an amazing job stepping up to get the ball rolling.
In Motion Dance & Wellness Camp 2023
Senior High, High School, and Middle School principals, please remind your campus staff and students that Plano ISD In Motion Dance & Wellness Camp is approaching. This event is a three-day summer program that provides an opportunity for dance growth for students enrolled in grades 7-12 (for the 2023-2024 school year) to increase their foundational learning on dancer wellness, health, safety, physical care, and goal-setting.
With these foundational elements, classes will be taught by professional guest artists and facilitated by current PISD dance educators, providing focused instruction in various styles of dance, with a primary goal of increasing student awareness in the areas of safe movement across techniques.
This methodology will engage students in a variety of dance styles including ballet, jazz, contemporary, musical theater, world dance, and more.
