Heights Highlights
September 2023
Happy Friday!
Dear Families,
Our first full week is almost in the books and we are off to a FANTASTIC start at EHMS! Our Pioneers are engaged in learning, building relationships with our staff, and buying into our PBIS programs. Sports and clubs are in full swing, and the campus is full of productive noise. As we head into a long weekend, please take the time to review some of the Heights Highlights for the upcoming month. In particular, check out our Important Dates, the Petey Bucks info, and our Traffic Flow reminder. We've also attached our building PBIS matrices for halls and classrooms. As always, if you have questions please reach out to your child's teacher or our amazing office staff. Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Jake Keefe and Dana Cerrito

Emergency Cards
Cell Phones and Attire
Hoodies, and similar tops or jackets with hoods, are "fan favorites" when it comes to school attire. We like them, too, but not when they are worn up and over the head during the school day.
The district's Student Code of Conduct provides direction on headgear, stating that it may not be worn over a person's head or scalp (excluding headgear that's worn for religious or medical reasons.) Hoods can make it difficult to identify an individual in an emergency, and they can also be a distraction in class. Please remind students that hoods may not be worn up during the school day.
The Student Code of Conduct also offers guidance on attire. Clothing must be school appropriate and may not present a health or safety hazard or disrupt the educational environment. Pants and tops must fit properly and be in good repair; crop tops are not permitted.
Additionally, footwear must be school appropriate--slippers and slipper socks are not permitted. Blankets also may not be worn in school.
Students may bring their cell phones to school but they must be turned off and put away during the day unless they are used as a part of a teacher-directed lesson in class. Same rules apply to Bluetooth headphones--they may not be worn during the school day.
If you need to reach your student during the school day, please contact the main office and our staff will convey a message or assist you in reaching your student.
