Calendar Update – Bad Weather Make-Up Day
To maintain the state-required 75,600 instructional minutes across the district, Plano ISD is using a combination of banked instructional minutes and a designated bad weather make-up day, in conjunction with an approved waiver from the Texas Education Agency (TEA), for school days missed during the inclement weather closure from January 31 through February 3. Originally scheduled as a student/teacher holiday, the first inclement weather make-up day, Thursday, April 6, 2023, will now be an instructional day. (view revised calendar)

The Surprising Power of a Good Dumpling
By Wai Chim
Mental Health/ Romance
Anna Chiu has her hands pretty full looking after her brother and sister and helping out at her dad’s restaurant, all while her mum stays in bed. Dad’s new delivery boy, Rory, is a welcome distraction and even though she knows that things aren’t right at home, she’s starting to feel like she could just be a normal teen.
But when Mum finally gets out of bed, things go from bad to worse. And as Mum’s condition worsens, Anna and her family question everything they understand about themselves and each other.
A Taste for Love
By Jennifer Yen
Romance
For fans of Jenny Han, Jane Austen, and The Great British Baking Show, A Taste for Love,
is a delicious rom com about first love, familial expectations, and making the perfect bao.
To her friends, high school senior Liza Yang is nearly perfect. Smart, kind, and pretty, she dreams big and never shies away from a challenge. But to her mom, Liza is anything but. Compared to her older sister Jeannie, Liza is stubborn, rebellious, and worst of all, determined to push back against all of Mrs. Yang's traditional values, especially when it comes to dating.
The one thing mother and daughter do agree on is their love of baking. Mrs. Yang is the owner of Houston's popular Yin & Yang Bakery. With college just around the corner,
Liza agrees to help out at the bakery's annual junior competition to prove to her mom that she's more than her rebellious tendencies once and for all. But when Liza arrives on the first day of the bake-off, she realizes there's a catch: all of the contestants are young Asian American men her mother has handpicked for Liza to date.
The bachelorette situation Liza has found herself in is made even worse when she happens to be grudgingly attracted to one of the contestants; the stoic, impenetrable, annoyingly hot James Wong. As she battles against her feelings for James, and for her mother's approval, Liza begins to realize there's no tried and true recipe for love.
