Dallas Zoo:
- We will be going to the Dallas Zoo next Wednesday, April 25th from 9:15-2:00. Please have your child wear their Skaggs spirit shirt or our school colors (red, white, and blue). Please also have your child bring a drink and sack lunch that is labeled with your child's name. If possible, please have the sack lunch and drink be something that is disposable.
Day of Drumming:
- PTA is also hosting Day of Drumming on Wednesday, April 25th. Children will be participating in an interactive drumming circle during our specials time. Each child will get to play a djembe drum. Please have your child wear jeans or long pants so they can hold the drums. Please also encourage your child to not wear jewelry on this day because it can damage the drums.

School Survey:
- As the end of the year approaches, we are starting to make plans for the 2018-2019 school year. Please complete this survey by Friday, May 4th to help us prepare our classrooms for next year: Skaggs 2018-2019 Survey.
PTA Color Run:
- Join us for the Color Run on Saturday, May 12th from 2:00-3:30. Come cheer on our students as they run, jog, or walk laps while raising money for PTA. 100 percent of the money raised from the Color Run goes directly to PTA. Our PTA is amazing and makes so many of our fun activities that we do at school possible. Please click on the attachment for more information. If you are interested in ordering a T-shirt for the Color Run, order forms are due next Wednesday.
Technology
- Has your child been logging into webdesk.pisd.edu at home? Students can access academic games and activities through the Webdesk website. To login, simply go to "webdesk.pisd.edu". Students login using their Plano ISD email account "firstname.lastname.1@mypisd.net" and enter the password Red.1234.
- Once logged in, click on the "My Class" icon at the bottom of the page. Select "My Class" on the next page followed by "Apps" located on the left hand side of the webpage.
