Wishing all of our Highland community a Happy 4th of July and 250th celebration.
As Independence Day and Pioneer Day celebrations approach, Alpine School District and Highland Elementary reminds community members that fireworks are prohibited on all school district property. With elevated wildfire risk across Utah this summer because of drought conditions, Highland City has also enacted a fireworks ban within city limits for the 4th of July weekend. We encourage everyone to celebrate responsibly and help protect our schools, neighborhoods, and surrounding open spaces from preventable fires by following these guidelines.
In conjunction with Mrs. Chadwick’s Summer Bingo, we invite families at Highland Elementary to participate in our Summer Reading Challenge.
Your challenge is to tell us about a favorite book you are reading! Send us a picture of you with the book, tell us what you love about it, and we will feature you and your book choice on the school marquee! Each student that participates will receive a Summer Reading completion certificate and prize at back-to-school night.
Happy Reading this summer! We can’t wait to see what books you choose!

Our lost and found has grown exponentially overnight (in part due to dance festival). Please check it when you are at the school. Anything left at the end of the day tomorrow will be donated.
If you haven't heard....the Lone Peak Fire Department has cancelled the water spray this year. Due to water restrictions because of the lack of snowpack this winter they are conserving water for the community. We hope for a better winter this year and to be able to bring this fun event back at the end of school next year.
Field Days are happening tomorrow and Thursday. Please help by encouraging your students to wear good athletic shoes to school for safety and agility. Volunteers helping with field days need to check in at the office when they arrive. It's going to be lots of fun!
Thanks to everyone that attended the Dance Festival today. We couldn't have asked for better weather. The students did such an amazing job!!
We also announced next year's school and Hawk Walk theme - "Be a Hero, Be You"!
It's hard to believe this is the last week of the school year!
There is lots happening this week. Students are very excited to invite parents to come and see them perform a the Dance Festival on Tuesday the 19th at 10AM.
Most of the grades are having their field days this week. PLEASE REMEMBER , you MUST have your background check to be able to volunteer for field days, park days, or any other class activities. We will check those as you sign-in.
The last day of school is Friday. Students attend from 8:00-9:30AM. The 6th grade clap-out will be just before the last bell rings. Parents are invited to line the front walkway to cheer on our 6th grades as they finish their final day of elementary school.
Thanks for an AMAZING school year...we look forward to this final full of fun week!

The end of the school year brings so many fun activities there's often more than one thing happening each day. Today some of the 6th grade students participated in the coding party/awards and others in Shark Tank. Meanwhile, this morning some of our 5th grade students participated in their State Fair marketplace trade fair. All of these activities are prepared for and anticipated by our students for weeks before the events.
Parents,
Please take some time this week to check your student's lunch account balance. We have several account that are accruting negative balances, most likely due to expiring auto pay options. Now is the tine to ensure your student has fund enough for the remainder of the year (7 more lunches) and that you don't have a negative balance. ASD Nutrition Services will begin turning over accounts to collections in June for unpaid balances. Payments can be made online at linqconnect.com or by phone through the Nutrition Services Office at 801-610-8030.
Also, teachers will begin distributing yearbooks on Wednesday, May 13th. If you child has an outstanding lunch balance or missing library book their yearbook will be held until that can be taken care of. We still have a limited number of yearbooks available for those that still want to purchase one. If you don't know if you have purchased on or not, you can reach out to Ms. Jennye in the office by phone or email and she can check the list for you.
Have a great night!
