Parent Orientation

Just a reminder we will have a 0-3 parent orientation for all new and current families on July 14th at 5:00 pm. The orientation will be held virtually. The goal of the orientation is to provide an overview of instructional expectations and operating procedures and guidelines. This will include updated procedures around COVID precautions.

2020-2021 Parent Handbook

The parent handbook will be finalized and uploaded onto our school website after our parent orientation. I encourage all parents to review the parent handbook prior to the star of the school year. Classroom-specific questions and procedures will be answered by your student's teacher.

Classroom placement letters

All 0-3 classroom placement letters have been mailed. If you have not received your students placement please contact Principal Garland at sgarland@csdeatur.net

School Closed for Pre Planning

Just a reminder to all families currently attending school. We will be closed on July 28-August 3rd for pre planning. Pre-planning time allows the our staff an opportunity to prepare for the new school year and participate in school and district professional learning.

Advisory Council

An Advisory Council was established at College Heights to function at the level of an advisory body to the administration and partners of the school. The purpose is to link communities, schools, and parents closer together in efforts to solve difficult education problems, to improve the quality of teaching and learning, to provide support and guidance to staff and administrators, and to provide an avenue for parents to be a part of the decision-making process.

The advisory council has very specific roles:

advise and make recommendations on matters related to school improvement and student achievement

assist in maintaining a school-wide perspective on issues
act as a link between the advisory council members and the community and parents
assist in creating the school budget
analyze data and make recommendations towards school programs
assist in creating school calendars
assist in creating the School Improvement Plan

The advisory council is looking for 2 parent volunteers from our 0-3 program who would be able to serve on our council. Meetings will be held virtually each month. If you are interested please contact Principal Garland at sgarland@csdeacatur.net
