Summer 2026

Dear Highland Families:

Our staff is enjoying their summer breaks, but each member of our Highland team will be ready to kick off a new school year very soon! 

At Highland Elementary, we believe that a strong partnership between school and home is crucial to ensure our students reach their full potential both academically, behaviorally, and socially. By working together, we can wrap our arms around each child and provide them the nurturing, guidance, and support they need both at home and at school. At Highland, we pride ourselves on meeting each child where they are, celebrating what makes them unique, and developing our instruction in a personal way that meets each of their needs. Instruction catered to your child’s specific needs is what you can expect in the upcoming year. 

In the spring, our teachers along with our support team worked carefully to create balanced classes for the  upcoming school year based on many varying factors. It is a complicated process that includes much time, thought, and diligence by each member of our team. Your child’s teacher’s name will be posted in Skyward on August 25 at 4:00pm. I trust that our team made the right placement for your child. As the school year approaches, look for more communications through the family email account you have designated in Skyward as well. 

We know everyone is excited to meet their new teacher, see their classroom, drop off school supplies, and gather with friends. Our staff looks forward to welcoming all students and families to an Open House on Wednesday, August 26 from 3:00-4:00pm. School supplies will be available in the main hallway at Open House if your child needs them. 

In the meantime: read, rest, play, go on adventures, and spend as much quality time together as a family as you can. The start of a new school year will be here before we know it!

All my best, 

Tricia Campbell
Principal
Highland Elementary School
