Welcome
Welcome to the first edition of the Plano_RDSPD Staff Chat.

Student Accomplishments
Staff Thanks
I would like to use this section of Staff Chat for special thank yous and appreciation. Please send them to me to be included in Staff Chat.
A big, huge thanks goes to Cindy Williams for organizing the Optimist Speech Contest for our students. It was such a success. I was so proud of our students as they gave their speeches. Pleae see the Parent Newsletter for the winners.
Teacher Appreciation Week:
I can not express in the appropriate words my thanks to the entire Plano RDSPD Staff for everything you do for students day in and day out. You work tirelessly and with heart to provide the best for each and every student. We would not be know as such a good program without your dedication and commitment to your students. Thanks again for all you do.
