Prior to test day all testing students should open the Bluebook app on their chromebook to make sure it is up to date and working. If they have any issues accessing the Bluebook app they should go to the Library and get help from one of the CTA's. The app can be found by logging out of the chromebook and opening the app menu in the bottom left corner.

The Plano East Senior Class Officer application process is designed to identify students who are ready to serve as leaders and representatives of the senior class during the 2026–2027 school year. Senior class officers are expected to uphold high standards of responsibility, professionalism, and respect while working closely with campus administration and the student body.

The application outlines eligibility requirements, key deadlines, and expectations for candidates, including components related to applications, campaigning, and the election process. It also establishes clear guidelines for appropriate conduct and campaigning to ensure a fair and positive election experience for all participants. Students interested in running are encouraged to carefully review the full document here and monitor their PISD email for important updates throughout the process.

Attention to students in classes associated with AP Classroom,

Whether you have an existing College Board account or are creating a new account make sure the email address on file is your PISD student email. You cannot use your personal email or phone number on your college board account. If you have any question your AP teachers can help walk you through this process. There is a google slides presentation that goes step by step they can share with you. This is necessary for you to be able to continue to access AP classroom throughout the school year as well as for AP testing. You can find more information here.
