Northwestern Medicine Kishwaukee and Valley West Hospital’s Community Health Services Department is in the process of conducting the organization’s next Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). They would like to invite District 88 families to participate in an anonymous online survey to help identify and prioritize health needs in our community. Information obtained as a result of the survey will help to plan and provide future health programs that will benefit our community.
Please click this link https://bit.do/NMSurvey or copy and paste the web address into your browser to take the survey.

Hear ye, hear ye Plano! It is time for our yearly madrigal production. Since schools were placed on an adaptive pause, our amazing fine arts students were interrupted in the middle of their rehearsal schedule. They decided as a full cast that they wanted to continue rehearsals and record our production virtually. We were able to record about half the show in the auditorium and the rest is being filmed individually at home.
The show will stream on December 12th at 6pm and December 13th at 4pm. Tickets per streaming device are $5. Please go to www.showtix4u.com and search Plano to find our show. Once you purchase your tickets you will receive an email with a link to start the stream on the designated dates and times.
Click here to see one of our jesters provide you with a promo for the show: https://5il.co/njob and click here for a sample of our students singing: https://5il.co/njoa. We have 35 students at PHS participating between singers, actors, and instrumentalists. We hope to "see" you at the show!
Effective Thursday, December 3rd, Plano High School will have a new location for their FREE meal pick-up. Please enter the EAST SIDE of the building and drive through the circle drive to pick up your meals on Mondays and Thursdays. Thank you!
Take Part in Plano's Rockin' Christmas!!
If you are interested in helping your neighbors who are struggling to put food on the table, you can make a monetary donation that will go toward providing a holiday meal for local residents/families. A $20 donation will feed a family of 4; donate as much or as little as you can. The monetary donation replaces the annual food drive that normally takes place at our school buildings and provides a safe alternative to giving back during the pandemic.
