BACK TO SCHOOL BASH

The Plano School District is hosting the first annual "Back to School Bash" on Friday, August 17. Students in grades PK-12 and their families are invited to the event to be held from 5-8:30 PM at Plano High School in the Reaper Stadium. (The rain location is the gymnasium.)

All Plano students will receive a FREE hot dog, chips and drink. There will be a dunk tank, bounce house, concessions, music and more!

REGISTRATION

If you are new to the Plano School District please feel free to stop by the High School between 7am and 3pm for a registration packet.

Last Spring, registration packets were sent home to all existing students and we asked for them to be returned to school before the end of the school year. If these were returned, students are considered as registered for the 2012-13 school year. If parents/guardians did not return packets for their students, they should return them As Soon As Possible. If students do not register by the first day of school, they risk being detained in the office and may not be able to attend class the first day. Late registration will also delay arrangements for bus service.

As a reminder, students entering kindergarten, sixth and ninth grades must have a current physical exam, as well as up-to-date immunizations, on file by the first day of school, which is August 20. Very important-Plano School District policy states that students in kindergarten, sixth and ninth grades will not be allowed to begin schooll if their physical and immunizations are not complete.

Students in grades kindergarten, second and sixth must have a current dental examination and kindergarten students must also have an eye examination, but these are not required by the first day of school. Dental and eye examination forms must be turned in to the school by October 15.

Classes begin on Monday, August 20 for students in grades 1-12 with half day classes (high school will be released at 10:40 am). The first full day of school for all students is Tuesday, August 21.

If you are a current student and did not receive a packet; will have a new student to the Plano School District; or wish to obtain more registration information, please contact the appropriate school listed below or the Administration Office at 800 S.
