PLEASE KEEP YOUR PETS AT HOME
"Dogs and other animals are not permitted on school grounds or in vehicles entering school parking lots and traffic aisles. This policy applies before, during, and after school hours, as well as during events on school property. It is an exception to this provision that: (a) the animal is a service animal assisting a person with a disability in accordance with and subject to the limitations provided in FBA (LEGAL) and FBA(REGULATION); (b) the animal is a law enforcement or District working animal; (c) the owner or handler of the animal has written permission from an authorized agent of the District; or (d) the animal is part of a District-approved activity or program."
We also want to remind everyone that the fenced Kindergarten playground area is NOT a dog run area. This is also PISD property, and the policy above applies to this area as well. Dogs have been seen running off-leash occasionally in our younger grade's playground area.
Thank you so much for your cooperation.
NATIONAL POETRY MONTH AND LIBRARY WEEK

We will celebrate the various ways our library helps transform students by…
…holding a bookmark design contest!
…estimating how many book erasers are in the library estimation jar (because reading ROCKS!!)
…running a Get Caught Reading promotion!
…writing one final round of poetry to fill our Poet Tree!
During the week of April 16th – 20th Hughston will participate in a school-wide initiative called Poem In My Pocket . We are asking each student and staff member to choose (or write) a poem that they enjoy. It might be a funny one or one that is special to them for another reason. We are suggesting everyone type or write out their poem on a slip of paper, fold it up, and put it in their pocket before coming to school. There will be different times during the day for students and staff to pull out their poems and share with each other. What a fun way for everyone to experience poetry together!
Thanks so much for your support! If you have any questions please check the library website at www.tinyurl.com/hughstonlibrary .

ELEMENTARY TRANSFER ONLINE SYSTEM FOR 2018-2019 SCHOOL YEAR

Beginning April 9 at 6:30 AM, parents must log onto the Plano ISD website at https://www.pisd.edu/transfer to receive a number that will hold a place in line for requesting a transfer for the 2018-2019 school year. Online access will end April 12 at 5:00 PM.
Transfer day will be Monday, April 16, with doors opening at 7:45 AM at the Plano ISD Administration Building on 2700 W. 15th Street.
