Plano Middle School Families
From January 7th through January 15th Plano District 88 remains in an Adaptive Pause and all classes will be Full remote during this time, as they were from Thanksgiving to winter break.
Remote Learning schedule for ALL students Dec. 1 - Jan 15th here
On Tuesday, January 19th Plano District #88 plans to return to Hybrid learning. Please see below for some IMPORTANT changes to the Hybrid Learning schedule at Plano MS.
Return to Hybrid Learning - January 19th - CHANGES
With a return to in-person learning expected beginning January 19th, Plano MS plans to continue with the 4 day a week class schedule that has been successful during the Adaptive Pause from December 1st to January 15th. We recognize the importance to provide more instructional minutes, daily contact, and consistent instruction while adhering to the safety expectations established by the ISBE and IDPH.
Jan 19th and Beyond
All students will receive 4 days a week of instruction following the same schedule we used during the Adaptive Pause. Students who were "in-person" learners prior to the Adaptive Pause will attend school 2 days a week in-person and 2 days a week remote. Full Remote students will attend all classes 4 days a week in a remote platform via ZOOM.

This daily schedule will indeed provide more consistency for all our students, result in them being more accountable, and significantly increase the instructional minutes over the pre Thanksgiving model. Our staff is and has always been committed to being Resilient and Flexible as we constantly look for ways to be Better and provide our students with the best services we can within the guidelines we are given.
If you would like to request a change to your student's status from In-Person to Full Remote, or Full Remote to In-person please contact the Plano MS Student Service office at (630) 552-3608 (extension 7415) or by emailing Theresa Byelick tbyelick@plano88.org. Changes can be requested beginning Tuesday, January 5th. Please note that if you are requesting a change to In-person learning, we will need 24 hours to confirm whether we can accommodate the change due to capacity limitations in classrooms and on buses.
