Summer Food Service Program
When school is out, our children need nutritious meals to continue to learn, grow, and thrive. With the Summer Food Service Program children and teens, ages 18 and younger, can continue to eat healthy throughout the summer at no cost, just by showing up at a participating location.
In partnership with the Texas Department of Agriculture, Plano ISD Food and Nutritional Services will be providing meals to the public at Meadows Elementary School from June 4, 2018 to July 27, 2018. Serving times will be from 11:30am – 1:30pm, Monday thru Friday.
No form of identification is needed for a child to receive a meal.
Adults over the age of 18 can purchase a meal for $3.75.
May Medication Pick-Up
Please remember to stop by the clinic to pick-up your child’s medication on or before the last day of school. Medication cannot be sent home with the student. According to PISD guidelines, all medication that is not picked-up by the last day of school will be destroyed.
If you are planning to bring medication to school for next year, please remember to bring the medication in its original packaging, including the pharmacy prescription label if appropriate. Also, make sure the medication has a current expiration date.
The week before school starts, August 6th – 10th, is a good time to drop off medications, forms, and supplies.
Lunch Room Deadline: Last day for PAYPAMS to receive and post payment is May 29, 2018. Everything after May 29th must be paid by cash or check at the Campus Site payable to FANS Andrews.

Nurse's News
Did you know that the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends children be seen by their doctor at least once a year? As children grow, it is important for their doctor to monitor their overall health. This helps detect health concerns before they worsen or your child requires a trip to the emergency department. Regular check-ups are also a good way for children and parents to build relationships with their doctor.
The new school year will be here before we know it. A physical exam fulfills the same need as an annual check-up. Depending on your child’s age and medical history, these appointments can include a physical exam, eye exam, hearing exam and lab tests. This is also a perfect time to make sure your child is up-to-date with all recommended immunizations.
Huffman Elementary School Enters Second Year of IB Candidacy
Now is the time to join the Huffman community of learners as the school enters its second year of IB candidacy, with an expected authorization for the 2019-2020 school year. As the first elementary academy in Plano ISD, there is much to celebrate. The Primary Years Programme (PYP) is a learning experience that integrates multiple subject areas into a student-centered inquiry environment. Students join with highly trained teachers to create a community of learners in which everyone has ownership and participates in the learning process. PYP concepts and skills reach beyond required learning to incorporate character development and the type of global focus that leads students to a greater understanding of an increasingly complex world. Plano ISD invites you to consider Huffman Elementary for your child’s academic needs. Please contact PYP Coordinator Amy Moore at amy.moore@pisd.edu or Principal Jamey Allen at jamey.allen@pisd.edu if you would like to schedule a tour or obtain more information. For information on transfers, visit www.pisd.edu/pisdtransfer. Transfers are being accepted until June 15 or as long as space is available. Read more at www.pisd.edu/huffmanpyp.
