Lunch Visitors
Dear Hughston Families,
Beginning December 1, 2021, a reservation link will be available on the front page of
the Hughston website at https://www.pisd.edu/hughston. Parents of students in Kindergarten through 5th grade, will be able to sign up for a specific (date and time) reservation using the link. Only one adult will be allowed to join his/her student for lunch. Only 5 reservations are allowed each day for each grade level. No siblings or extra guests will be allowed at this time. In order to accommodate our parents who have been waiting for this day to come, we ask that you only sign up for one special day at this time. Our PreK program is not included on the sign up as they follow different program requirements.
Sincerely,
Carrie D’Argo
Hughston Principal
