Official PISD Communications

PL Entry Form
District employees must fill out this form before scheduling any professional learning that pulls employees from campuses during school days. This includes PL for employees who don't necessarily require substitutes (counselors, principals, librarians, etc.) This form allows us to monitor and limit how many employees are out and subs are being scheduled.
Check the Plano ISD Testing Calendar for conflicts before filling out the form.
