Have you checked your child's lunch account balance lately?

We have several student lunch accounts that either have expired payment sources or their auto-pay feature needs to be renewed. Please take a moment to check that your child's lunch account is set up for the. year. Courtesy calls are made to families when balances begin to occur.

The school district is still using LinqConnect for School Lunch payments. A link can be found on our school website - look for the tile for school lunch.

In anticipation of the changes coming next school year as we move to Aspen Peaks School District, we have been given a new phone number for our school. Please take a minute to update the phone number you have stored in your contacts on your phone. The new phone number is 385-579-6360.

Please be aware - though the old phone number forwards to our new phone, it does not connect well and we often cannot hear those on the other end. If we cannot hear you, we will direct you to call the new phone number.

Thanks for helping us stay in contact with you.

DID YOU KNOW?

Joining the PTA does NOT mean you have to volunteer every day.

In fact… you don’t even have to volunteer at all!

When you become a PTA member, you’re simply saying, “I believe in our kids, our school, and our community.”

Every membership adds another link to the chain that connects our families, teachers, staff, and students.

You can volunteer a little, volunteer a lot, or simply be a member and support from the sidelines. There’s a place for everyone in PTA!

Even volunteering in the classroom for parties is part of the PTA!

So if you’ve ever thought, “I’d love to join, but I just don’t have time to volunteer…” — JOIN ANYWAY!

Your membership matters. Your voice matters. YOU are part of our Highland community.

Join the PTA. Add your link to the chain.

Hello Highland Families,

It's upon us...tomorrow school begins (1st-6th grade).

As an important reminder to help keep our students safe, please review the pick-up and drop-off areas and safety rules. We are also including the student meeting spots; we use these meeting spots specifically so siblings and younger students know where to meet each other after school.

Please check here https://infofinderi.com/ifi/?cid=ASD2UCS4NBHJ for the latest bus stop info; transportation is making frequent updates to times and schedules.

School begins at 8:00AM and dismisses at 2:15PM. This is the same schedule every day. We do not have early out days in elementary school.

Please reach out to the office if you have any questions.

We are excited to see you all tomorrow.
Enjoy your 'Twas the Night Before School Begins.
