Good morning Highland Parents/Guardians,
We are looking forward to seeing you today/tomorrow at Parent/Teacher Conferences. We have a few reminders to share with you:
- Please plan on entering and exiting at the main front doors of the school; the times of conferences are considered and extension of the school day and we will be following state safety guidelines. This means only the main entrance will be open and the playground gates will also be locked. You will not be able to enter the school from the back.
- Please be courteous of others as you attend. Remember that parking in the bus zone is only available after 3PM. Also, if you are bringing children with you, please keep them with you the entire time.
- The Book Fair is open from 3Pm until 6PM both nights. Please remember that students need to be accompanied by and adult when at the book fair.
If you were not able to schedule a parent/teacher conference time and still would like to visit with your child's teacher, please reach out to the teacher via email. All teacher email addresses can be found under the staff section of our school website.
We look forward to seeing you!

Today we held the kick-off assembly for the Hawk Walk! The Hawk Walk is our annual community fundraiser/event. The funds raised for the Hawk Walk supports all of the PTA programs, school needs, classroom activities and more! Check your email for the information letter sent home about the Hawk Walk today.
A special Thanks to Mrs. Lewis' class for beginning our assembly by singing "My Own Superhero". They did such a wonderful job!
Tomorrow afternoon is also our Hawk Walk kick-off. To help facilitate the assembly, the main office doors will be locked from 1:15-2:00PM. Please plan for check-outs before 1:15PM as students are hard to find during assemblies - and they worry about missing out.
Have a great afternoon!
