Dear Families,

Our Staff is enjoying our summer break, but each member of our Highland team will be ready to kick off a new school year 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 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 personalized way that meets each of their needs.

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 26 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 will soon be 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 27 from 3:00-4:00pm. Please join our PTO on the playground for a treat and time to reconnect and meet new friends.

To all of our new Highland Hounds coming to us from Heritage, Spring Mills, or any other move your family has made, we share a special warm welcome to you!!! We will work extra hard to make sure you love your new school and have a fantastic year!

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!

In partnership,

Dr. Tricia Campbell
Principal
Highland Elementary School
