Dear Heights Families,
As we kick off the new school year, we are excited to share some of the wonderful things happening at Heights Elementary!
Our students are diving right into their learning by setting goals in both reading and math. This will help them focus on their growth and celebrate their achievements throughout the year.
In their classrooms, students are also busy creating essential agreements that will guide their interactions and learning. They are learning new procedures and expectations that will support a positive and productive environment for everyone.
Additionally, students are following our PAWS expectations across the campus, ensuring that our school remains a respectful and safe place for all.
We are looking forward to another amazing year at Heights Elementary and appreciate your continued support in making this a successful school year for your child.
All campus visitors will need to show their ID at the door and also to receive a visitor pass. Based on the School District of Lee County safety procedures, we are ONLY allowed to accept physical forms of ID when you show up on campus. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept picture IDs on a cell phone or from the Florida Real ID website. Thank you for your understanding and helping to keep our campus safe.
Attendance:
The Heights Elementary school day begins at 7:55 am. One of the most valuable life skills a student can learn from their parent/guardian is the responsibility of arriving at school every day on time. This skill can easily be accomplished and will transfer as a valuable asset for the future. One of the most important times of the school day is the morning. This is the time when important school news is announced, teachers define the plans for the day, and instructional goals are reviewed and set. The whole tone of a child’s school day is set in the first part of the day. Please help support your student in learning habits that will help them be successful at school and throughout life.
PARENTS - if you have had a child absent from school - YOU MUST SEND IN A NOTE/DR. NOTE WHEN THEY RETURN LETTING US KNOW WHY THEY WERE ABSENT.
This is the only way you can excuse an absences. Please read your Code of Conduct or call Mrs. Curry or Mrs. Kurowski to see what is considered excused or unexcused.
