As we reach the end of the 2019-2020 academic year, we want to thank our Plano ISD families for the patience and support you’ve demonstrated during this uncertain time of implementing remote learning. Your feedback is important to us and will help our teachers, staff and administrators better support your needs as we prepare for the 2020-2021 school year.

Thank you

I wanted to take just a moment and thank everyone who has volunteered their time and energy towards the SMS PTA this year.

Whether you gave a little of your time or a lot, your contributions matter! Giving your time is one of the most selfless acts, and I wanted to let everyone know how much I appreciate your efforts.

I especially want to thank everyone for their patience these last few weeks as we’ve had to make major adjustments to our procedures during this unprecedented time. I hope we set an example of how a volunteer organization can run during a time of crisis and uncertainty.

We made a great team and I couldn’t have done much without such an amazing group of people!

“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”

Texas Education Agency Releases Optional Assessments

5/13/2020 1:30 pm

On May 12, the Texas Education Agency released information making optional end-of-year assessments available to parents, students and school districts. These assessments were created with released STAAR (State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness) items from previous STAAR assessments. As a district, Plano ISD will not require students to participate in these assessments. We utilize Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) and other methods of measuring learning and identifying potential gaps that will need to be addressed when school resumes next fall. Our curriculum teams will work with teachers to address intervention needs as well as review some of the curriculum included in this current grading period. More information on learning support for this summer is coming soon.
