What you need to know
The new center—located just southwest of Plano at 6210 Mapleshade Lane, Dallas—will provide wraparound services to help “promote student success,” according to a news release from the district.
Services at the new facility will include:
- Enrollment, transfers and notarization of district documents
- Counseling resources
- A clothes closet, food pantry, homelessness support and other community and social services
- On-site immunizations and immunization screenings
“This center is a tangible expression of our belief that education extends far beyond the classroom,” Plano ISD Superintendent Theresa Williams said in the release. “It is about creating an environment that addresses not only academic needs but also social and emotional aspects of a student’s life.”
What’s next
The Welcome Center is expected to finish construction next December, according to the release.
The new facility will be PISD’s second Welcome and Enrollment Center, with the existing center located at 1300 19th St., Plano.
