Our Field Day is fast approaching, and we are still very short on volunteers! If you are available Friday, October 27th, and would love to spend the day outdoors helping (and watching) our Hughston students have the time of their lives, please consider volunteering for Field Day! We cannot hold all the activities Coach Pirillo has planned for this day, without many hands manning the events! If you are interested, follow this LINK to sign up! Make sure you have filled out your PISD Volunteer Application well in advance, to give it time to process. Hope to see you at Field Day!

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.
