• Return to School Plan Update
As parents are making selections regarding their students’ preferred learning environment for next school year, we want you to know the following:
If you select PISD School@Home, you have the ability to change your selection up until two weeks before the start of school by contacting your child’s campus.
Remote learners who start the year at home will have an opportunity to change their selection to face-to-face learning for the second nine weeks.
As a reminder, have extended the date to select the PISD School@Home remote learning option to Thursday, July 16 in order to provide you additional time to consider your choices. Your selection can be made through the Plano ISD Parent Portal, www.pisd.edu/gradebook.
Instructions on how to make your selection through Parent Portal can be viewed online at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WVbmRoPqBmo_O7pydJc0kkrx7rGY7He_dqJal-XL9jw/edit.
View the Return to School Plan online at www.pisd.edu/returnplan. More information to assist with your selections will be added to the plan, as well as to the online FAQ, as we continue to receive feedback from our advisory groups. If you have questions or concerns, please refer them to AskPISD@pisd.edu.

Return to School Plan, 2020-2021
We recognize that parents are currently making a selection about the type of learning environment they would like their child(ren) to participate in for the new school year and are eager to have health and safety guidelines for reopening school in order to make more informed decisions. Therefore, we will share a draft of the Plano ISD Return to School Plan on Thursday, July 9. The Return to School Plan will also be available on the Plano ISD website at www.pisd.edu/2021planning, where information, including an FAQ, will be regularly updated.
On Tuesday, July 7, Texas school districts received guidance from the Texas Education Agency on health and safety guidelines for opening schools in August. Now that TEA has released the state guidance, we want to get our Plano ISD-specific plans out to parents as soon as possible.
Please note that we are also extending the date to select the PISD School@Home remote learning option to Thursday, July 16 to give you additional time to consider your choices. Your selection can be made through the Plano ISD Parent Portal. Get instructions on how to make your selection through Parent Portal.
We will continue gathering parent input through our Advisory Groups, which will help us refine our plan in the areas where the state’s guidance has left the school district flexibility for implementation. If you have questions or concerns, please refer them to AskPISD@pisd.edu.
