"DRESS THE TURKEY" STUDENT COUNCIL CANNED FOOD DRIVE
The results are in, and the winner of the Student Council "Canned Food Drive" was K-2, with 2nd Grade bringing in the most cans!! The K-2 representative, our wonderful Miss Bui, was dressed as a Turkey greeting students this morning!
All together Hughston students brought in 1,760 cans! It was a pretty close race with K,1,2 only bringing in 5 more cans than 3,4, 5, and 2nd grade beating out 5th grade by 10 cans!
Thank you to all who participated!!
Science and Engineering Fair
It is time once again to prepare for the Science and Engineering Fair! Look out for a green interest letter in your child’s Thursday folder this week. All projects for the fair will be due on Monday, January 22, 2018. If you have any questions or if you are interested in judging the event, please contact Devon Ryan at Devon.Ryan@pisd.edu.
PACE REFERRALS
PACE stands for Plano Academic and Creative Education and is the cornerstone of the district's gifted and talented education program. PACE is more than a course; it is a motivating and challenging experience that lasts over multiple years of a student's education.
The PACE program provides an invigorating, creative, and rigorous learning environment to nurture the unique academic and social - emotional needs of students requiring gifted and talented services.
For more information and if you feel as if your child is need of these services, please complete the online referral form found at www.pisd.edu/giftededucation.
Kindergarten students are assessed in the second semester for services beginning in March of the kindergarten year. Students in all other grades are assessed in the second semester to determine placement for the following academic school year.
Students may be referred for gifted services by parents, teachers, principals, counselors, or by the students themselves.
Referrals must be submitted by Wednesday, December 6th.
If you prefer a hard copy of the referral, please contact Donna Bui at donna.bui@pisd.edu or by phone at 469-752-2040.
