Parent-Led Temporary Virtual Option | PreK through 6th Grade
Note: The parent-led Temporary Virtual Option ends on September 10.
Plano ISD is offering one instructional setting (learning environment) for the 2021-2022 school year, which is in-person, on-campus instruction. The district is not providing a remote school learning environment this school year. The choice for Parent-Led Temporary Virtual Option is not an instructional setting, but rather the provision of learning resources while the student is absent from in-person, on-campus instruction. This temporary learning solution allows students to engage in asynchronous learning utilizing Plano ISD instructional resources in pre-kindergarten through 6th grade, where vaccinations are not yet available. (PreK students must qualify for eligibility.)
Instruction will follow the standard grade level Plano ISD scope and sequence and will be provided for English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies only. Students will have access to instruction along with corresponding assignments and activities. This model does not include synchronous (live) instruction and does not resemble last year’s PISD School@Home. With parent support, students will utilize supplemental technology programs for intervention and enrichment.
It is important to note that while a student taking advantage of the Parent-Led PreK-6 Temporary Virtual Option will remain on the home campus in-person teacher roster, the home campus teacher will not be responsible for delivering instruction or grading daily work. The home campus teacher re-engages with the student when they return for face-to-face learning. An essential part of this option will be the parent/guardian acting as the teacher (or Home Learning Coach), responsible for supporting their child’s learning.
