HES Weekly Update

Spring Break is just around the corner—only 8 school days away! We would love to have every student at school for these next few weeks to make the most of our learning time together. A well-earned break is on the horizon, but until then, let’s finish strong!

We Can. We Will. Because We Are Highland!

Please call the office no later than 3:15 PM for any after-school messages. This ensures we have enough time to deliver messages to students before dismissal.

Thank you for your cooperation!

We are participating in a District wide Canned Food Drive and need your support: ie. canned food items, cookies, snacks and hygiene products. Please drop off items to Highland Elementary from March 10th-21st. The grade level winner will receive a popcorn party. Let's help make a difference!

We’re excited for another season of Girls on the Run for our 3rd-5th grade girls! This program helps build confidence, teamwork, and healthy habits through running and engaging activities. Practices will be held every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:45-5:15 PM. Please plan to pick up your child in the front of the school, next to the front office doors. We can’t wait to get started!

Board Game Club is going strong! This club is open to 4th - 5th grade students and will meet every Tuesday and Thursday (3:45-5:00).
