Community Resources

PISD has launched a Family Resource page on the district’s website. This page provides a searchable list that families, community members and school staff can utilize to help find community resources in order to meet a family’s needs. The list is searchable by agency name, zip code and category. Categories include such areas as basic needs (food assistance, housing assistance), health care (medical, dental, vision), and mental health (substance abuse, counseling, etc.). Links to the site will be available on the district webpage and we would encourage you to share this information on your campus website and through eNews.

The family resource page can be found at  https://www.pisd.edu/familyresources

March 31, 2020 - Public health remains the number one priority for our students, families and staff. Additionally, Governor Abbott ordered today that all schools are to remain closed through May 1, 2020, unless otherwise extended.

Information Regarding COVID-19 and School Closure

Collin County has issued a Stay-at-Home Order advising businesses to take all necessary actions to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

While all campuses and other district facilities will be closed during this period, Plano ISD will continue implementing the following essential activities:

• Meal Service will continue at our designated grab-and-go sites.
• Chromebook Distribution: If your child needs a Chromebook for at-home learning and you were unable to pick one up at your child's home campus this week, please contact the Plano ISD Help Desk.
• Remote Learning will continue allowing students and teachers to participate in online learning while observing this Stay-at-Home Order.
