SUMMER OFFICE HOURS
Plano Senior High is open during the summer. Starting June 15, summer hours begin. The office is open Monday – Thursday only. We will return to a five day week July 27. We will also be closed July 3rd and 6th for the 4th of July holiday.

2009 DIPLOMAS
Diplomas are ready for pick-up. Graduates can come to the fishbowl between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday. They must have a photo identification to receive their certificate.

Students were given many opportunities to check the spelling of their name for diplomas. Diplomas with misspellings will be corrected at no charge if picked up before June 24. After that date there will be a fee of $30.

If someone other than the graduate will pick up the diploma, a letter of authorization from the graduate will be required. The letter must include the name of the person authorized and the name and signature of the graduate. Photo identification will be required.

SENIORS - FINAL TRANSCRIPT
Colleges require a Final Graduated Transcript. Students who fail to request this now may have problems when away at school. Only the graduate will be able to authorize the processing of this document.

SUMMER MAILINGS
Two mailings will be sent this summer to students homes. The “Summer Packet” will have lots of information for next year. Please keep it in a safe place, we can not send you a second packet. The other, in a regular business size envelope, will be the emergency card. This should also be put in a safe place; it will be required for schedule pick-up in August.

MOVING?
Students who move over the summer will need to change address with the Registrar.
You will need proof of residency, a natural gas or electricity bill, or original lease agreement.

If your move requires a transfer for the student, you must apply for that transfer at the Administration Building, 2700 West 15th Street, Plano. The Administration building will follow the same summer hours. 469 752 8100
