August 18, 2020
Did you know about the 90% attendance rule? In Texas, students must attend class at least 90% of the time in order to get credit for that class. When learning from home, students should log in to teacher-assigned lessons each day by 11:59 PM to be counted.
*Students should access all learning apps, including Google Classroom, via the Plano ISD WebDesk, so that we have accurate accounting of their logins and duration of engagement on a particular learning app.
