Communications

The Rice PTA Communications team realizes what a challenge it can be keeping parents and students updated on all activities. Our goal is to keep families informed of school and PTA activities and events in hopes of gaining increased participation and support from them. Our team wants to help make your PTA job easier. We're here to help share your information, event or announcement with Rice Middle School and the Plano community.

We know our parents use many different communication pathways to get news and information. To meet you on the communication highway, Rice PTA and Rice Middle School use multiple platforms to keep parents informed and in touch with what is going on within our campus and in our community.
