Instructional Continuity and Remote Learning
Please make sure your child has logged in to Google Classroom for each of their classes. All core subjects went live on 3/23, and electives should all be active now as well. Although, grades are not currently being assigned, feedback is being provided to students to assist their growth. We appreciate you working to ensure that your child is engaged in learning!
Parents of students who receive instruction in the special education setting will be contacted by special education teachers to develop plans. Information will also be provided from the district Special Education Department. We are committed to working with you to provide services and support for your student(s).
Long-Term Instructional Continuity: In the event that school closing extends beyond April 3, we will update our online learning plan to support a longer term continuity of learning. We will continue to provide you with ongoing updates.
Parent Portal Accuracy for Contact Information
Teachers and counselors will continue to reach out to parents and students using the contact information from Parent Portal. Please log in to your Parent Portal account to verify that your contact information is accurate and up to date.
Technology Access
Plano ISD provides many digital tools to support in-class learning, and our students have access to these resources which are aligned to their classes through the Plano ISD Webdesk and the student digital backpack. All Plano ISD students have been issued a username and password to access these digital tools and content. If students have forgotten their passwords or are otherwise experiencing problems trying to login, please contact Plano ISD's Technology Help Desk for assistance by email at helpdesk@pisd.edu or by phone at 469-752-8767.
