Calendar

The Plano Independent School District School Calendar is our guideline for our school calendar. Please mark your calendar for these important dates below.

Inclement Weather

In the event of severe weather (snow, ice), we will follow Plano ISD closings. If they are closed, we are closed. If Plano ISD opens school late, we are closed.  Occasionally, the City will ask businesses to close because of utility shortages due to heavy residential use. If the Church is asked to close, your child’s teacher will call you at home as soon as possible. Snow/Ice days will not be made up. Please watch the major television stations and listen to the radio for school closings. They usually begin reporting closings by 7:00 a.m.
