A Note From the Pricnipal
Dear Parents,
We are very excited to see you all on Thursday night for Open House! The doors will open at 6:00 p.m. and the event will end at 7:30 p.m. All of our students have been working hard to show off what they have accomplished as IB PYP scholars this year. In addition, you will want to stop by the gym to see the 5th grade "Living Wax Museum". Mrs. Harmon, the art teacher, will also be set up in the cafeteria with a family art activity. While in the cafeteria, stop by our PYP photo booth! You will be given a list of "must sees" when you arrive so you don't miss a thing! This is a perfect opportunity for you to see the great things that make Huffman a step above all other elementary schools! As we finish our first of two years of IB PYP candidacy, we have a lot that makes us proud!
Sincerely,
Jamey J Allen
Principal
Where are we with the IB PYP?
Huffman Elementary is an International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program Candidate School. What does that mean? We are in training to become an authorized IB World school. Since June of 2017, Huffman teachers have been writing units of inquiry which aligns with the Texas state standards and the IB PYP program standards. So far, grade level teams have developed 4 out of 6 units of inquiry. After spring break, we will have a visit from our IB consultant who will spend time visiting with teams and administration as well as observing classrooms in order to give feedback on our progress. We are preparing for authorization in the spring of 2019 to become an official IB World School. Check in next week in our enews for some specific information about IB and how your child is developing into an IB scholar.
