In honor of Veterans Day, please help us recognize and celebrate the brave men and women who have served in the armed forces. We encourage families to take a moment to reflect on the sacrifices made by our veterans and the importance of their service. Thank you to all who have served!

Just a reminder, we do have school on Veterans Day.

We are excited to invite you to join our School Accountability Committee (SAC). This is a wonderful opportunity to get involved in important discussions about our school’s goals and how we can work together to support our students' success.

Your voice is essential in shaping the future of Highland Elementary, and we would love for you to be part of this important conversation.

First bell rings at 7:55 ~ Tardy Bell rings at 8:00*

Learning begins at 8:00*

Students who arrive after 8:00 must be signed in by a parent or guardian in the front office.

Please do not park in the drop-off zone, as it causes a traffic jam and creates safety concerns for all students. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated!

All students should go directly to the playground before school starts, where they can also get breakfast. Please do not send students through the front office unless it’s after 8:00.

All visitors must have a valid ID and check in at the front office. This includes parents who walk students into the building and want to stay past the 8:00 bell.

We kindly ask all parents to update their contact information in PowerSchool as soon as possible. This is how we reach families in case of an emergency, so having the most current information is crucial. We still have 48 families who need to update their information. Thank you for helping us keep our students safe and connected! Please reach out to Amy Lujan is you need any support - alujan@garfieldre2.net
