Discovery Education Online At Home
plano.discoveryeducation.com - will take you directily to PISD's log in screen. From there, your child can enter their school log-in and password to have direct access to all of the site's academic features. (educational videos, images, games, and passages)
Please, take some time to explore all the options!
To ensure that your child is at the personal best when working with us, please make sure they are getting a full night's sleep. It is recommended that they get 10 -11 hours of sleep each night. For most kids that means an 8:00 pm bedtime!
Please help your child be on time to school. Our day starts promptly at 7:45! Too many kids are entering the hallway at that time and missing things because they are not in class.
Morning Drop Off
The cafeteria doors open for drop off from 7:00 a.m. At 7:20 a.m. they will be closed and your child is expected to enter from the front of the building.
Beginning at 7:20 a.m. the front doors will be opened for drop off. Prior to 7:20 a.m. your child is expected to be taken to the cafeteria.
Please do not drive off before you are assured your child has been granted access to the school by a staff member.
Staff members are not allowed to let anyone in through the exterior doors at any time before, during, or after school.
Istation at Home!
We ask that your child work in Istation for a minimum of 15 minutes at home each day.
To access the program you will need to download the program or app to your computer or tablet. (Istation is not available on android devices at this time.)
