Launched in 2016, the CORE Store has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars in supplies and classroom materials to teachers throughout Plano ISD. The CORE Store allows teachers to shop for additional school supplies for their students at no cost. Across the district one out of every three students is classified as economically disadvantaged, with some campuses having as many as 90% of their students. For some classrooms, school supplies and classroom materials represent a day-to-day struggle for many students and teachers.
The CORE Store's mission is to help students succeed by equipping teachers with donated classroom resources, providing an opportunity for every Plano ISD student to have the supplies required to be a successful in the classroom.
Help us continue to meet the need for school supplies in our classroom by contributing online to the Plano ISD Education Foundation or by mailing gift cards that can be used to purchase supplies to the Plano ISD Education Foundation at 2700 W. 15th Street, Plano, TX 75075. We appreciate your support during this time.
TEACHERS:
Now is your chance to reserve a time to shop for your classroom needs. Due to overwhelming demand from our families during remote learning, the CORE Store inventory is low. We ask that you take an inventory of those items that you need after the first day back on campus and only pick up the necessities. We assisted families in making sure kids had a backpack full of supplies as they began the school year. We will limit shoppers to 6 teachers at a time and we ask that shoppers do not arrive early. Please plan to view the shopping list in advance and plan ahead since shoppers will only be allowed 20 minutes.
TO REQUEST A SHOPPING TIME:
- Each Thursday the CORE Store will be available BY APPOINTMENT for shopping between 3:00-5:00pm.
- Email COREStore@pisd.edu with the date and time that you would like to shop.
- Watch for a confirmation and prepare your shopping sheet!
Happy shopping!
