Good afternoon Plano East parents,

This is a friendly reminder from the school nurse’s office:

* If your student has medication at school, it must be picked up by a parent or guardian before the last day of school. No unused medication will be sent home with students, and any remaining medication at the end of the school year will be properly disposed of on May 18th, per Plano ISD policy.

* Please remember to update your action plans over the summer for the upcoming 2026/2027 school year, if your child has one.

* If you have been notified that your student needs vaccines, please ensure all vaccines are completed over the summer to facilitate a smooth transition into the new school year. Students who are not up-to-date on vaccines will be delayed in receiving their schedule in August. Please email us the updated shot records any time. If you have an Affidavit for Exemption of Immunizations, please make sure they are not expired or expiring.

Thank you and have a great summer!

Juniors,

We would like to share some information about senior portraits and yearbook pictures. Beginning 2026-2027 school year, we will continue to offer senior portraits in the summer for our senior families, but they will not be used for the yearbook. During the summer senior portrait setting provided by Legacy Photography, you can sign up for various options of pictures which will allow you to have the traditional cap and gown picture along with other outfits if you choose, depending on the package you select. If you would like to schedule an appointment for senior portraits through the school, please use this link. All yearbook pictures will be taken when school begins through social studies classes in regular school attire. Students will receive their student ID after their picture is taken when school begins.

We are happy to share our 2026 Graduation Details!! The ceremony will take place on Thursday, May 28th, at 7:00 p.m. It will be held at The Star in Frisco. We have created our graduation page that will share all the details every family needs. Please know that as we get closer to the spring, more details will be shared on this page, so please check back.

We look forward to celebrating our 2026 Graduation Class.
