High Plains School
EC-8th Grade
New students and families needing to drop off Immunizations, Birth Certificates, or Proof of Address please stop by the office on August 8/1 between 8:00am - 11:00am OR 1:00pm - 3:00pm. You can always send your documents to hpsregistrar@tsd.org as well.
Meet and Greet Night is on August 13th. It is an opportunity to tour the building, get class rosters and schedules, pay fees, learn about student extra curricular opportunities and family volunteer/support opportunities, and drop off school supplies. Families are welcome to drop in any time between 4:30-6pm.
On August 29th, 5-7pm Bison Staff will invite families to Bison Family-School Connections Night. This is an in-depth presentation and Q&A time to get to know your child’s learning community and expectations. We know that Meet & Greet Night can be too quick to absorb all the information at the start of the year. We wish to provide our undivided attention to families with this structured time.
Teachers will share surveys with families prior to Aug. 29th to solicit questions and specific topics they may want to have included in this time. K-5 families will attend sessions (20 minutes each to allow families with multiple students to visit other grade levels) from 5-6pm. 6th-8th Grade families will attend sessions from 6-7pm. Please keep an eye out for additional details from your child’s teacher (once they return in August).
August 14th is when our kindergarteners and 6th graders start school. This is a Wednesday Late Start day! Students may enter the building starting at 9am. Kinder parents, after you drop your kinder child off at the kinder door, swing around to the front entrance to join our PTCO in the cafe! It’s our Tears and Cheers event where families can meet other families, hear from our PTCO and principal, and enjoy some light food and beverages as you build relationships with fellow Bison families. Please have an ID ready to show the office staff prior to entering the building.
Sixth grade students that took their devices home need to bring the device and the charger to school! Sixth grade students will enter the main entrance door starting at 9am. Students may go to the cafe for breakfast or directly to their advisory class.
All students are back in school on August 15th. School hours are 8:20-3:35 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday and 9:20-3:35 on Wednesdays. Students should not be left unattended prior to 8am (9am on Wed). There is no supervision until those times. Students may eat breakfast and/or go to their classroom, if they arrive between 8-8:15 (9-9:15 Wed). The final bell is 8:20am. Students should be in their seat, ready to learn! See our website at this link for more details on drop off and pick up. Any 1st-5th grade students who took their device home for summer school and all 7th-8th grade students need to bring their device and charger to school!

The PTCO needs you! We are charging forward and the Stampede is fast approaching. We are looking for sponsors for the upcoming school year. Sponsors help provide shirts and prizes for the event which is our most attended event of the year. Sponsoring is a great opportunity for our families' businesses to introduce themselves to the community. Deadline is August 16th for Platinum (only 2 available) and Gold Sponsors. If you have questions, please email Amy Nohl at president@highplainsptco.org.

Dear High Plains School Fathers and Father-figures, On Wednesday, August 21, from 6-7pm, High Plains School will be having our annual “Dads and Kids'' Pizza Night at our school. We will meet in the school cafeteria at 6:00pm for FREE pizza and drinks. At 6:20pm we will have a presentation about the High Plains WatchD.O.G.S. (Dads Of Great Students) program. WatchDOGS is an innovative program being used by schools across America which helps each school be positively impacted by the committed involvement of fathers and father-figures in their students’ life. Our goal is to have you spend at least one day this year at the school to be a positive male role model and to provide an extra set of eyes and ears. Dads, granddads, uncles, step-dads and adult brothers… this is your chance to have a night out alone with your student in a fun atmosphere at school. We look forward to seeing you there!
If you have any questions, please contact Karen Helfrich at karen.helfrich@tsd.org or (970)679-9806.
