Handley Parents! We are excited to invite you to Parent Lunch Fridays starting on October 23! Due to limited space, we can accommodate up to five families per lunch period, with a maximum of two visitors per student. To ensure all students have an opportunity to enjoy lunch with their family, we ask that each family sign up only once per grading cycle. We will use SignUpGenius for weekly sign-ups. Each Monday, all slots will be cleared and reopened for families to sign up for the upcoming Friday.
