The Bookfair is coming next week. To make shopping easier for your student, we encourage the use of eWallets. Check your email for instructions on how to setup an eWallet for your child.
The stand for kind team wants to make sure that every student knows just how Amazing they are.
They want to help spread kindess through the delivery of Valentinegrams. Each student will be given a Valentinegram they can send to someone at school, and if they choose can send more.
We invite parents to participate by sending a valentinegram too. Simply pick up a valentinegram during parent/teacher conference week and drop it off. The stand 4 kind team will take care of getting them all delivered in time for Valentine’s Day.

We had so much fun dressing up as 100 year olds today to celebrate the 100th day of school. Thanks to all of our students and faculty that participated.

Ever wondered how we know the air quality and it's affect on recess?
We follow the guidelines set by Alpine School District and the State of Utah: https://www.alpineschools.org/page/recess-guidelines. We utilize the data from the Utah Air Quality site (https://air.utah.gov/currentconditions.php?id=ln) and Purple Air (https://map.purpleair.com/air-quality-standards-us-epa-aqi?opt=%2F1%2Flp%2Fa10%2Fp604800%2FcC0#13.54/40.41931/-111.80699).

Here's what we have to look forward to this week. Remember there is no school tomorrow.
Thanks for a great week of school. As a reminder, there is no school on Monday in recognition of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Have a great long weekend, and we'll see you back on Tuesday.
We appreciate your patience and help this morning with our modified drop-off area. The construction crews have been hard at work to repair the water line break. They still have a section coned off where additional work needs to be done. Please be alert, aware and extra cautious when picking up students this afternoon. Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe.
Pleasant Grove Recreation invites students to participate in the monthly Adaptive Kids Nights at the PG Rec Center. See the flyer for info and registration.
Tomorrow (Tuesday, January 13th) there will be a construction crew at Highland to repair a burst water line. This will necessitate some changes to our morning drop-off. The drop-off area in the parking lot will be reduced drastically to allow for construction vehicles. We encourage you to utilize the bus zone drop-off area (be courteous to the buses and others). Because it is a small area for drop-off please be aware that you will not be able to park or wait, it will be a stop, drop, and keep on rolling situation.
Should this repair go into the afternoon we will send out alternate instructions for pick-up, though most likely those students who normally wait near the dumpsters will need to wait near the flag pole.
See the image to see exactly where the construction zone is and how much of the area will need to be blocked off.
Thanks for your assistance and patience as we all work together.
Here's what to look forward to this week:
- Join us on Tuesday for the PTA meeting at 10AM.

We are expecting a very cold morning tomorrow. A red sign on the marquee will indicate an inside morning. Please remind students that even with an inside morning we still plan to go outside for recess. They need to dress warmly for outdoor play.
If we have an inside morning the Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders go to the lunchroom. The 4th, 5th, and 6th graders go to the gym. They will wait in these areas until the first bell rings.

You may have seen this article (https://highland.alpineschools.org/o/highland/article/2617131) from the district yesterday about wellness rooms. This school year we added one for students and teachers here at Highland. This has been a great place for students who need just a little time with their emotions. Our zen/calm room is located right off the main office. Anytime you are at the school you are welcome to take a peek.
