Dear Highlands Families,
Welcome to the 2015-2016 school year! I hope summer has been relaxing and renewing
for you all. Summer has been a busy time
here at Highlands as I have been hiring new team members and preparing the
building for another fantastic year ahead.
I look forward to meeting and welcoming our new and returning community
members in August as we move forward to our school year.
As you all know, Highlands is a vibrant, student centered,
and innovative school. We strive to
provide the best possible environment to foster both academic and social
emotional health and success. August and
September provide many opportunities for your family to learn about Highlands
School, beginning with our new family tour on August 12th at 10:00am.
Please meet near the LRC. During this time, families new to Highlands
will have the opportunity to receive a tour of the building, meet other
Highlands families, and have questions answered as we assist you in your
transition to your new school. Following
the new family tour, we will be hosting an Ice Cream Social for the community
from 11:30-12:30 on the playground. All
are welcome!
School will begin for first through fifth grade students on
August 19th from 8:15-2:30pm.
Also on August 19th, kindergarten students will participate
in a Sneak Peek where they will be able to visit their classrooms in small
groups with their parents. All
kindergarten students will receive notification of their assigned Sneak Peek
times. The first full day of Kindergarten
will be on August 20th, 8:15AM-2:30PM.
The start of the 2015-2016 school year is just around the
corner, so enjoy the remaining days of summer with your family. My door is always open should you have any
questions or would like to stop in to introduce yourself. I look forward to serving the Highlands
community.
Respectfully,
Laura Noon, Principal
