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.
